Operation Falcon op in Savannah--what ever happened to Posse Comitatus?

Operation FALCON is a nationwide fugitive apprehension operation coordinated by the United States Marshals Service (USMS).  The resources of federal, state, city and county law enforcement agencies are combined to locate and apprehend criminals wanted for crimes of violence.
Since its inception in 2005, Operation FALCON has made 91,086 arrests and cleared 117,874 warrants and is the single most successful initiative aimed at apprehending violent fugitives in U.S. law enforcement history.
The original FALCON I proved the efficacy of the cooperative law enforcement model, which seeks to multiply the positive impact of law enforcement at all jurisdictional levels.  The emphasis centered on gang related crimes, homicides, crimes involving use of a weapon, crimes against children and the elderly, crimes involving sexual assaults, organized crime and drug related fugitives, and other crimes of violence.

"SAVANNAH, GA (WTOC) - U.S. Marshals swarmed a Savannah neighborhood and arrested Antonio Heyward for aggravated assault.

Police say Heyward shot a man back in December. They consider him violent and have been trying to track him down for the past couple of months.

The arrest happened on 53rd Street near Waters Avenue.

Heyward's sister watched the entire event unfold across the street.

"Anybody who sees their brother scream when there are 20 police officers would be upset," Shakira Heyward said.

The U.S. Marshals say because Heyward is considered dangerous it was necessary to have so many marshals.

Gunshots were also heard in the area around the same time, but the U.S. Marshals say they don't appear to be related.

A new U.S. Marshal Task Force is in Savannah that will help partner agencies arrest violent offenders."

Does anyone know if an agency founded for enforcing Federal laws now employed (indefinitely) in enforcing local and state laws as in Operation Falcon, is a violation of Posse Comitatus Act, originally directed at the US Army?

Police State, Police State, Police State, Police State....

Is this what our guys are fighting for in Iraq and Afghanistan?

The Old Dominion strikes back at Federal Tyranny!

 Sic Semper Tyrannis, baby! :-))))

Today, the Virginia House of Delegates overwhelmingly passed House Bill 1438 (HB1438), the Intrastate Commerce Act. The bill, “Provides that all goods produced or manufactured within the Commonwealth, when such goods are held, retained, or maintained in the Commonwealth, shall not be subject to federal law, federal regulation, or the constitutional power of the United States Congress to regulate interstate commerce.”

The vote was 65-33.

For decades, using a tortured definition of “interstate commerce,” Congress has claimed the authority to regulate, control, ban, or mandate virtually everything – from wheat grown on one’s own land for personal consumption, to weed grown in an individual’s own home for the same purpose, to guns manufactured, sold and kept in state boundaries, and everything in between. And, unfortunately, the Supreme Court has largely condoned and even encouraged such reprehensible legislative behavior.

Just to get an idea of how ridiculous tyrannical the Federal Supreme Court can be, think of:

Wickard v. Filburn, 317 U.S. 111 (1942), was a U.S. Supreme Court decision that dramatically increased the power of the federal government to regulate economic activity. A farmer, Roscoe Filburn, was growing wheat to feed his chickens. The U.S. government had imposed limits on wheat production based on acreage owned by a farmer, in order to drive up wheat prices during the Great Depression, and Filburn was growing more than the limits permitted. Filburn was ordered to destroy his crops and pay a fine, even though he was producing the excess wheat for his own use and had no intention of selling it.

This guy blogs so often, it makes my head swim.  He is really smart, and very well informed.

Of particular interest to those of you who have been watching our wealth drain away by out of control government spending and purposeful devaluation of our dollars (read:  I make the same salary, but my money doesnt go as far), check out this blogpost of his dated the 27th, but linked to today at lewrockwell.com:

This one blew my mind.  Between the election and the Fed meeting next week, we are truly witnessing significant history in the making.

Also at lewrockwell.com is an article today by Gary North, who has a knack for explaining complex economic issues in plain English.  I really enjoy his articles.  He has many great posts archived at LRC.
