Calvin asserted positively.
138 THE IRON HEEL "There is no such law. Young man, you have dreamed all this. Why, you spoke of sending the militia to the Philippines. That is unconstitutional. The Consti- tution especially states that the militia cannot be sent out of the country." "What's the Constitution got to do with it?" Ernest demanded. "The courts interpret the Constitution, and the courts, as Mr. Asmunsen agreed, are the creatures of the trusts. Besides, it is as I have said, the law. It ...has been the law for years, for nine years, gentlemen." "That we can be drafted into the militia?" Mr. Cal- vin asked incredulously. "That they can shoot us by drumhead court martial if we refuse?" "Yes," Ernest answered, "precisely that." "How is it that we have never heard of this law?" my father asked, and I could see that it was likewise new to him.
