Troops Come To NOLA? Mayor's Race Latest & "Alien" Shrimp

Hy and Christopher take on John Kennedy’s radioactive “alien” shrimp, the lack of decorum in politics, and the New Orleans Mayoral race.

But our main topic has to do with all the talk about Trump sending National Guard units to New Orleans We talk about the history of federal military occupation of Louisiana after the Civil War and Posse Comitatus Act of 1878.

Christopher writes an editorial in The Louisiana Weekly challenging Trump‘s decision to send troops to the Crescent City (outside of a natural disaster) for the first time since April 24, 1877. Ironically, Jefferson Davis would be rolling in his grave at the precedent.
