The Posse Comitatus Act bars federal troops from participating in civilian law enforcement except when expressly authorized by law.
Do you want them to break the rules they’re bound to follow or not? Sounds like you just want to believe whatever fits your viewpoint. The military had no right or responsibility to engage in a civilian law enforcement action on January 6.
The Posse Comitatus Act of 1878, which removed the military from regular civil law enforcement, was enacted in response to the abuses resulting from the extensive use of the army in civil law enforcement during the Civil War and the Reconstruction. What you are all bent out of shape about was restricted because it was being abused.
Let’s be real, the military is going to intervene next year because its purpose isn’t to uphold the Constitution, it’s to protect the status quo as it is in every country that has one. When this all pops off into a civil war, they’ll take over whether the Posse Comitatus Act is a thing or not.
They’re the ones with all the guns, and the ones with the guns make the rules.

Got it. So next time there is a civil war, just wait it out.
Would probably be easier in the long run since there wouldn’t be any pushback to celebrating slavery and treason
If your argument is that the military would ignore insurrection then we agree. But that is not what the comment I replied to was about
Lol! I’m sorry, I thought you were being serious. I didn’t realize you’re a parody or troll account.
