Nope

The age of ANY law has has no bearing on ANYTHING

1 month old law vs 150 year old law....both are laws one is no more or less important based on age

Nope

1 month old law vs 150 year old law....both are laws

Good, we agree.

That applies to federal military forces. The National Guard prior to 1903 was called the "Organized Militia." It is state controlled--unless federalized under certain circumstances--and can be used for a variety of purposes that the federal forces can't be used for, including law enforcement.

She said the same thing, but just better researched:

National Guard members are under state authority and commanded by governors, so they’re generally exempt. However, the Posse Comitatus Act applies to National Guard forces when they’re “federalized,” meaning the president puts them under his control. That’s what Trump did in California over the governor’s objections.

President Donald Trump’s recent actions have sparked debate over the Posse Comitatus Act, a law from 1878 that limits military involvement in domestic affairs.

Clearly Safiyah Riddle, the author of the piece knows shit about the US military and is talking smack after maybe 5 minutes of research.

You could have spent 3 minutes of reading the article and realized you were wrong.

She also obviously doesn't know the US Coast Guard is a quasi-military service that is run, in peacetime, by the Treasury Department, not the DoD.

The Coast Guard is no longer in Treasury, but rather in Homeland. Funny how you missed that. It has not been in Treasury since 1967. It was in Transportation from 1967 to 2003.

Here's a brain fuck for you from the article

"The Insurrection Act of 1807 allows the president to deploy troops during invasions, rebellions or when local authorities can’t maintain order."

The police DC police were hardly keeping order.

What invasion? They keep order just fine. It's the US policy that fails.
