And here I thought that Republicans were for a less intrusive Federal government.

No, they just want to intrude on different things.

And please note - the country got by for almost 100 years without Posee Comitatus. I think it an error to reinstate it, but it's a political - not Constitutional - issue.

Medieval latin. I believe "force of the country"

I hold it true, whate'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.

what does the term Posse Comitatus mean?

It was already correctly translated - "the power/force of the country."

It's got a bit of a longer history. It meant in antiquity basically anybody over the age of 15 in a county who could be conscripted by the sheriff to assist him. It was something from around 1400, as I recall, that first appeared in English law to allow sheriffs to deputize (probably conscript) locals to help him.

Think of The Sheriff of Nottignham and his posse. It's the same way.

In the US, the Posse Comatatus was created because of the problems of the military in the Reconstruction South. Also, it prevented federal marshals from requesting military assistance.
