The left is going nuts, claiming that Trump’s use of the DC National Guard is a violation of the posse comitatus act, and I find it hilarious because the posse comitatus act restricts the use of the U.S. Army and Air Force in domestic law enforcement activities, unless specifically authorized by Congress.
That doesn’t include the National Guard, because the NG is not the Army, it is a militia. More importantly, the DC National Guard has been authorized to conduct law enforcement. The Department of Justice has long taken the position that it can operate in a “militia” status, not subject to the Posse Comitatus Act, thus allowing the president to potentially use it for law enforcement purposes without triggering the Act’s restrictions.
Meanwhile, the left has been trying to explain for years that the militia is the National Guard, and therefore the Second Amendment only applies to the Guard’s members.
The left appears to have forgotten that the NG was called out for law enforcement in DC once before during Trump’s time in office…

No room for commie RAT POS, useful idiot or fellow traveler.

That would be, once again, the National Guard. Yes, different state, but it’s the principal…
