I think y’all are getting a little overly wrapped around the axle on this stuff.

IMO: The purpose of that requirement to “ first publish a proclamation ordering the insurgents to disperse” is simply to provide notice to The People.

Insurgents, police, babies, grandmas, toddlers, terrorists & teens; doesn’t matter.

Much like the police are required to declare an unlawful assembly before they can take certain actions, requiring POTUS to “publish a proclamation” is literally merely the act of giving people notice and a chance to disperse.

Meaning they don’t want POTUS to just up & invoke the act and blindly, wildly send Marshalls / military into an unsuspecting crowd.

Gotta at least give them a chance to leave of their own accord.

That’s all this is, IMO.

Doesn’t matter who’s the insurgents, who’s the patriots, etc.
