#1 9. The President, by using the militia * * * shall take such measures as he considers necessary to suppress, in a State, any insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination, or conspiracy, if it—

(2) opposes or obstructs the execution of the laws of the United States or impedes the course of justice under those laws.

Do these apply to members of the DS within the government or in Congress?

#2 The Donks always forget their own history - Battle of Oxford, 1962.

President Kennedy reluctantly called in reinforcements in the middle of the night under the command of Brigadier General Charles Billingslea, Commanding general of the United States Army's 2nd Infantry Division. He ordered in U.S. Army military police from the 503rd, 716th, and 720th Military Police Battalions—which had previously been readied for deployment under cover of the nuclear war Exercise Spade Fork—the 2nd Battle Group, 2nd Infantry Division, the 31st Helicopter Company, and the federalized Mississippi National Guard. United States Navy medical personnel (physicians and hospital corpsmen) attached to the U.S. Naval Hospital in Millington, Tennessee as well as 101st Airborne Division communications and medical personnel were also sent to the university.

#3 I'm not sure if this qualifies as "suppressing an insurrection", but the 82nd Airborne was deployed to New Orleans after Katrina, with the order from General Honore "to fix the airport and fix New Orleans." (Halsey would have approved that form of order.)
So there I am a few weeks after the storm, walking to work with my briefcase in hand; and walking in the other direction is a squad of soldiers with that "AA" squeezed into a circle on their shoulder patches and their rifles at port arms. To my credit, I didn't actually kiss any of them.

#4 L.B.J. sent the 3rd. brigade of the 82nd. to Detroit in 1967. Then we went to Nam. Good times.
