I questioned our great electronic overlords and it looks like they would still need to do some hinky shit, like trying to use The Insurrection Act to invalidate Posse Comitatus.

What is The Posse Comitatus Act?

The Posse Comitatus Act (1878):
Restricts Military Use:
The Act prohibits the use of U.S. military personnel for domestic law enforcement, including the enforcement of civilian laws, unless specifically authorized by the Constitution or Congress.

Purpose:
It was enacted to prevent the overuse of the military for law enforcement, particularly after the Civil War and Reconstruction, and to maintain the distinction between military and civilian roles.

Exceptions:
The Act does allow for exceptions where the Constitution or Congress specifically authorize military involvement in domestic law enforcement, such as in cases of natural disasters, federal property protection, or to enforce federal court orders.

Current Debate:
The Act is a subject of ongoing debate, particularly regarding its impact on the use of military resources in border security, drug enforcement, and other areas.

In Summary:
The Posse Comitatus Act limits the military's role in domestic law enforcement, while the legal concept of "posse comitatus" refers to the power of law enforcement officials to call upon citizens for assistance in keeping the peace.

Does Martial Law automatically suspend the Posse Comitatus Act?

No, a declaration of martial law does not automatically suspend the Posse Comitatus Act. The Posse Comitatus Act restricts the use of the military in civilian law enforcement activities, and while martial law allows for the military to assume control, it doesn't inherently override the Act's limitations. The Insurrection Act is the primary exception to the Posse Comitatus Act, allowing for the deployment of military forces in specific circumstances, says FindLaw.
