16 years ago @ Big Government - No doubt the The Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 is even more irrelevant to the President than the Constitution -

18 U.S.C. 1385

Sec. 1385. Use of Army and Air Force as posse comitatus

Whoever, except in cases and under circumstances expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of
Congress, willfully uses any part of the Army or the Air Force as a posse comitatus or otherwise to
execute the laws shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.

Is this not direction that the military be used to carry out a law enforcement activity on U.S. soil?
