In this episode of Amicus, Dahlia Lithwick discusses the recent deployment of the National Guard in Washington D.C. and its implications for checks and balances in the U.S. legal system. She is joined by <a href="https://www.brennancenter.org/about/leadership/elizabeth-goitein">Elizabeth “Liza” Goitein</a> from the non-partisan Brennan Center’s Liberty and National Security Program, a leading expert on all things Posse Comitatus, the Insurrection Act, and the Pandora’s box of domestic military deployment in policing, and the legal frameworks governing it all. Together they explore the <a href="https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/analysis-opinion/crime-cover">dangers of the administration’s current actions in the nation’s capital,</a> and whether the president can act on his threats to expand them to cities that didn’t vote for him around the country.
