It is much easier to vent our frustration than to diligently follow what's happening at our State House each day, what bills are legislators are trying to push through, what's about to hit the house floor, and how things have spiraled so completely out of control that now it seems the only power we have left is to vent.

You are no doubt correct that the statutes allow the regime to deploy the USCP nationwide. The strict legality is really not the core of the worry. It's the fact that the regime doesn't abide by the law but in fact leverages it to illegal and unconstitutional ends.
