Hound,
-I'm not sure what ruling you're thinking about. I just completed a google search for it, ((---again, you have me acting as your research assistant :) ---)) but was unable to find such a ruling. However, there are planty of articles about the debate occuring in the 90's and a lot of articles describing the weakening of Posse C over operations against druggies in the 90s and terrorists since 9/11.
-I personally played in that came in the 90's, and I know that the military in alot of cases didn't want to get involved in the anti-drug game but was drawn in to it by civilian agencies that needed military equipment, techniques, expertise, and manpower.
-Historically speaking, Posse C was instituted after the Civil War to get the military out of law inforcement and BACK INTO BORDER DEFENSE.--ironic, huh?
-Bottom line: reference above suggestion to use the military to secure our border? ---they're already doing it. The military does it in support of the civilian agencies under Homeland Defense Dept, --but the military is doing it's part. What the military can't do is arrest people.
-An additional point worth noting, In the past decade the Pentagon created a new major Command Regional Command, The NORTHERN Command and allocated combat forces to it. Where are these military forces to be used?--the answer is, in North America! Posse C has a role in securing our civilian government, --but Posse C was NOT instituted or designed to help that government commit suicide. Any reasonable person understands the main mission of the military is to defend the country and the constitution from enemies both foreign and domestic, --and the foreign mission begins at the borders.
