Everything people are talking about is part of Reconstruction law. We harried the Black Panthers, the Weathermen, and anyone two shades of pink to the ends of the earth, for decades. The law contains these methods.

I'd be happy to review any resources you might choose to point me to regarding those Reconstruction-era precedents, most particularly still-actuve sections of the U.S. Code. My understanding of Reconstruction law was that the bulk of it was administered by the military in the wake of the Civil war.
