Goodness! You whip out that "liar" stuff more quickly than Matt Dillon whipped out his .45 in Gunsmoke!
I have read both pieces briefly once, then again more carefully... and, Gunner-guy, I have to ask if we read the same piece?
Congress in the summer of 1956... legislatively, it followed almost immediately upon the heels of P.L. 84-851, which mandated that "In God We Trust" would appear on our currency... it also happened in 1956; however, that one was late in the 84th Congress' term. The Korean War had just wrapped up and the Cold War was moving to the front burner; in March of '56, 96 U.S. Congressmen had signed the "Southern Manifesto" as a protest against the 1954 Supreme Court ruling (Brown v. Board of Education) desegregating public education. (It was generally a pretty quiet year.)
It was all cosmetic, though. Essentially, according to 861, the militia is everybody and everything. And, as we well know, the quickest way to make something become logically nothing is to define it as being everything. You're not in the militia any more than you're making a theological statement by spending a dollar.
