DELEGATE MARION: Mr. Chairman, if that was in

2

response to my question — I think it was —

3

DELEGATE JAMES: That was a supplementary answer.

4

DELEGATE MARION: The question I am still seeking

5

an answer to, I appreciate the fact that this is language

6

in the Federal Constitution, but if it will have no

7

application, no application whatsoever to the state or cases

8

arising in the state, if we do not have an army or navy

9

why is there need just for the sake of carrying over the

10

language as it appears in the Federal Constitution to include

11

this language in the Maryland Constitution?

12

DELEGATE WEIDEMEYER: Those cases you are worried

13

about I think come under the federal jurisdiction of the

14

military.

15

DELEGATE JAMES: Does the state have military forces

16

DELEGATE WEIDEMEYER: In the Army or the Navy

17

they have military courts and certain offenses which are

18

offenses both under the federal law, under the Maryland

19

law or the state law can be prosecuted in the militayr courts

20

martial, by military court martial.

21

They are in the military.
