California pushes back at DOJ's lawyer saying that there are "only" 300 soldiers left: "300 soldiers is a significant number of soldiers."
"That's certainly a large enough number of soldiers to constitute a Posse Comitatus Act violation."
Trial wraps without a ruling.
California Deputy AG Strong says the proper standard is with a "bad purpose."
She notes law enforcement was instructed to substitute "security" β barred under the PCA βΒ with "protection," an undefined word.
"It simply shows they knew it was unlawful."
California's Deputy Attorney General Meghan Strong says the government's arguments that there's no civil remedy for Posse Comitatus Act violations "defies basic principles of federalism."

Because the Heritage Foundation is just a bunch of hacks, and that's who the right values and elevates.

Theoretically, the Prez should have no leverage to change policy there - Congress nominates + monitors, the board, appropriates the $. But they don't assert it!

The right says there's an issue; the NYT writes about it; lawmakers "debate" it; it becomes law; and Roberts says, "Well, there is a debate!"
Looking forward to the Smithsonian exhibits on killer wind turbines, heroes of the confederacy, and meticulous recreation of Studio 54.
