WASHINGTON, June 3, 2010 – Ohio and Washington have been chosen as the first states to host new National Guard homeland response forces for responding to chemical and biological attacks, Pentagon officials announced today.
http://www.defense.gov//News/NewsArticle.aspx?ID=59473One paragraph in the article caught my eye;
At the next level, CBRNE Consequence Management Reaction Force units, consisting of several thousand members, would deploy in the event of a larger event at the direction of the appropriate state governor, he said. This force operates under Title 10 authority, with federal funding.
When you look into US Code Title 10, you find this;
§ 332. Use of militia and armed forces to enforce Federal authority
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. You also find this;
§ 334. Proclamation to disperse
Whenever the President considers it necessary to use the militia or the armed forces under this chapter, he shall, by proclamation, immediately order the insurgents to disperse and retire peaceably to their abodes within a limited time.
So it appears the legal framework is in place for marshall law.
Welcome to the new AMERIKA !
