I will, however, quibble with your interpretation of Posse Comitatus. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posse_Comitatus_Act<br /><br />Yes, it can by misused. See Southern states and enforcement of Jim Crow laws. See also federalized police forces putting down Occupy protests, many others. Federalized Chicago Police, supported by many other federalized local police forces brutally put down down NATO demonstrations. Those were Americans trying to exercise their 1st Amendment rights. <br /><br />As unions try to make a comeback, their greatest hurdle on the picket line is federalized local police forces. <br /><br />All that federalizing violates federal Posse Comitatus. The only authority to enforce the law is given to LOCAL law enforcement, local DA's, local judges. <br /><br /> John Caspernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-10193420042143197392014-08-07T20:31:26.528-05:002014-08-07T20:31:26.528-05:00This WisGOP action says quite a bit.

They show that they would much rather have the very right wing Clarke running against their candidate (that way they get a right wing Sheriff either way) in the November election, and that Clarke must need some outside help to beat Moews. <br /><br />Clarke's political associations need to be brought out front and center, right along with his ridiculous record, all the while claiming to be a Democrat. I guess when you have Sykes on your side, you can claim to be almost anything.<br /><br />Clarke's campaign website touts his winning "Sheriff of the Year" in 2013 from the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association, run by Richard Mack, who has connections with the NRA, and also the Oath Keepers and Gun Owners of America. Mack was a spokesman for Cliven Bundy (a "sovereign citizen," just like Timothy McVeigh) this past spring, and worked in inserting armed militias into the conflict, which Fox News heavily backed. CSPOA uses the feudal posse comitatus idea as basis for their cause to make war with the federal government.<br /><br />Maybe the media will look into this strange mentality prior to election day.<br /><br /><br /><br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
