The Supreme Court ruling about sending troops to Chicago gave me more relief than I’m willing to admit.  If he had the green light to send federal troops to any Democratic city he deemed a threat, that would certainly encourage the coup attempt.    Naturally, three justices were all for it. But still, very significant in avoiding what might’ve been.

There is one real scary aspect of that.

The stay decision depended on an interpretation of the phrase "unable to enforce federal law using regular forces" or something very similar, with regular forces being the key phrase.

The parties assumed regular forces meant civil authorities like cops and ICE.  

The amicus law professor brought up that historically, that meant the regular military.

So the upshot is that POTUS can only mobilize/deploy the Guard when the regular military is insufficient.  And that means there must be some exception to the Posse Comitatus Act that would allow domestic deployment of the military before the Guard can come in.  Trumpco argued Insurrection Act, SCOTUS said nuh uh, tentatively.

So that decision may actually encourage Trump to attempt to use the regular military domestically.  I don't know that they really have the stomach for that, but we'll see.

Yeah very probably.

The boat strikes and general purpose South American hostilities unfortunately bear a strong enough resemblance to shit we've done under the War on Terror that it's probably colorably legal/lawful to many military commanders (that is acts of war against hazily defined non-state enemies without congressional authorization).

Domestic deployment of the military may be a whole other kettle of fish entirely.

Agree about that ruling, but I still expect the bad guys will just privately organize.

Or, if the regular military is insufficient due to being engaged in a war in, say venezuela.

Does anyone know what that lapel pin is for? The guy behind him is wearing the same one.

Google Lens wasn't any help.

Maybe Miller actually hates Sinatra, since he was the child of Italian immigrants. I bet we could even find racist Anti-Italian and specifically anti-Sicilian cartoons and editorials from when they immigrated here.
