No, this has nothing to do with the difference between a territory like Puerto Rico and a State like Hawaii. There is much the same difference between territories and the States today then in the nineteenth Century. That is why Posse did tot preclude sending U.S. troops into the territories...

There is some debate about what is happening globally. In some places glaciers are declining while in others they are growing. However the important question is whether the Earths Atmosphere is currently warming , or cooling, not locally, but globally. And if we are doing one or the other...

Beware of motives, political and otherwise. There is potentially a lot of money to be made brokering and trading carbon futures!

Frankly, what does it matter that a solid state physicist or a molecular biologist or chemist agree on the effects of climate change? Or in your mind is atmospheric physics the same discipline as say astronomy? What concerns me is that the opinions of Ph.D atmospheric physicists on whether...

The only problem I see for her is that in running for NY Mayor she wouldn't be running against Trump. But maybe she hasn't realized that yet. :D

Don't agree. Regardless the "Enforcement Acts passed later would allow U.S. Troops to be sent, no question about that. Did all those U.S. Calvery Troops sent to the Western Territories to round up unruly indians violate Posse?

The wording used in the Act is "Domestic." Are territories overseas "domestic"? I don't think so. Currently, the FBI is active in Puerto Rico! They have to keep their activities undercover and not let the Puerto Rican Police know what they are doing, because the local police will tip off the...

You are right of course, the President can't legally overturn a law with an executive order. They can simply invoke the law with an order, or order an action to which no law applies! They can do this, and they have. And I am not confusing U.S. Troops with the National Guard.. The original act...

Everything you say is true, except you failed to mention that all it takes is Congressional action to suspend Posse Comitatus in any particular case, and the President can , and has, suspended Posse Comitatus with an executive order. It would be a trivial matter to do it in the case of Puerto...

Romney????

Will Ford hire at least two white middle aged males for each robot at their Michigan plant? Gee, I sure hope so. ;)

The Island of Puerto Rico is a cesspool of poverty and corruption. The Island Government of Puerto Rico is a cesspool of corruption. Nepotism, graft, and an under the table cash economy reigns. Their problems are their own. We can cut them loose and they may become another Haiti. (Their island...

A wise decision. Today, the supply of economists exceeds the demand.

Oh, I'm sorry I misunderstood what you meant by "centralist". I thought you were referring to politics. I should read more carefully. Possibly a period of exception to your centralization trend would be the 1980s in the U.S. and Great Britain; a period of rediscovering economic and political...

Oh yes. It is a well known graph. I too have it in my texts. Economic "theories," which are mostly hypotheses rather than theories, depend on assumptions. The problem for economists is that their assumptions often prove to be wrong. Here is one of my favorite examples. When there is...

Not to worry, your buddy Trump is going to repeal O'Romneycare "on day one".;)

Interesting comments, however have you considered that "this country" is now trending far from "centralist".

You are confused. This is not the "Washington Post" you quote, it is the "Washington Times." You are living in an age when anyone can manipulate words out of context for their own purpose. Don't be stupid. Soros is strongly antiwar, and a believer in international cooperation. If you are...

Have you considered that Hitler produced an economic miracle in Germany the 1930s? (Not saying Trump is another Hitler, Trump is different; possibly worse than Hitler in his potential for destruction of democratic institutions.) Hitler's Germany was a beautiful example of the application of...

You're babbling. You are not making sense.
