Re: Federal judge strikes down Utah’s ban on same-sex marriage
Posse Commitatus Act prevents the military from working within the borders of the US, although the NG could technically still help. And most military units would not be really effective in this case anyway.
But there is plenty of law enforcement that would help as well. And there are plenty of supporters out there, along with those who simply do not care about this issue one way or another. The federal government has the power here, whether you approve or not.
And there are other ways to ensure enforcement of rulings, otherwise Texas would continue to try to prosecute sodomites.
No military unit in their right mind would EVER AGAIN back the federal government over the Tenth Amendment....
Sorry but there are no riots happening and there is no civil disobedience here...
Is this the United States or is the the former USSR?
I know progressives want it to be the USSR but sorry to tell these progressives but a bunch of academics and politicians who theorize about what looks good on paper should really see their flaws in reality and in practice...
What are the feds going to do? arrest a governor? an entire legislative body for not adhering to their bull****?
How you think Russia became communist in the first place with Lenin and the Bolsheviks? yeah they said "**** off" - just like I'm saying **** off to them...
