Ahh, Donegal ! Poor old DonDiego's Irish ancestors farmed a plot in Donegal overlooking Loughros Beg bay on the way to Loughros Point. DonDiego stood on that plot some years ago and imagined the life there back then. He considered picking up a stone and bringing it home, . . . but the thought struck him that his ancestors had left the stones in Ireland to go to Ameriky, so he left them there too. But DonDiego digresses, . . .
DonDiego is quite aware of the Possee Comitatus Act and the limitations which it places on the employment of the US military within the United States by the US President.
He supposes that those limits do not extend to opposing open insurrection and secession from the United States. And even if they were to apply, an exception to the Prohibitions can be found, . . . e.g. the deployment of federal troops into Little Rock, Arkansas, during the 1957 school desegregation crisis by President Eisenhower.
The last time States actually seceded led to The War of Northern Aggression to "bring them to heel", to borrow a Hillary Clinton phrase.
It didn't turn out well.
For the record, poor old DonDiego does not actually believe any States will secede. This is all just pretending by leftists, snowflakes, leftist-snowflakes, and their followers to let the World know how sad they feel and how angry they are: "O-o-o-o-o-o-o-h ! I'm so angry I'm leaving ! And I'm taking my State with me ! O-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-h ! ! !"
It is cute to see angry snowflakes threaten. But it'll pass.
Also for the record, if billryan must misspell "DonDiego", DonDiego does prefer "Donegal" to the earlier efforts.
