Police can also be held criminally responsible for unneccessary killings when lives are not being immediately threatened. The Federal government cannot use the military to legally assume a position of law enforcement unless the relevant state government has refused to enforce the law, as in southern states ignoring the safety and rights of minorities back in the sixties.
The Federal government cannot use the military on US soil, period. Ike called in the National Guard (not military) to integrate the high school in Little Rock Arkansas in the 1950s. JFK called in the National Guard to protect the Freedom Riders. Etc.
So what was the result of the filibuster? What, exactly, did Senator Rand accomplish besides making enough noise to get heavy media coverage?
