"Where in the Constitution does the president derive the authority to send federal law enforcement officers to the streets of American cities against the will of the elected officials in those cities?".
I'm not sure if Karl thinks President Lincoln's use of federal force was justified when it was used to put down the rebellion in not just a few riotous cities, but across the entire South, but I do know for a fact that the United States Army was there "Against the will of the elected officials" in those cities and states.
"What you're seeing today is the Democratic Party returning to its roots. These are mayors and governors that are saying the federal law - the U.S. Constitution - doesn't apply within the confines of our cities, and our citizens will be held at the mercy of the mob, and the administration of justice, the federal courthouse will be allowed to fall under siege, and that's what's happening right now in Portland."
The Constitution guarantees citizens of the United States certain civil rights, including the right of free speech and the right to peaceably assemble.
Section 241 of U.S. Code Title 18, Chapter 13, makes it a crime for "Two or more persons [to] conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States."
"Whenever the President considers that unlawful obstructions, combinations, or assemblages, or rebellion against the authority of the United States, make it impracticable to enforce the laws of the United States in any State by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, he may call into Federal service such of the militia of any State, and use such of the armed forces, as he considers necessary to enforce those laws or to suppress the rebellion."
It is time for President Trump to reassert federal power in the runaway cities that have rejected the Constitution.
