Thank goodness Bush stood up to him on this one.

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy | |

They also had DOJ opinions that they had ample power under the Constitution to do this legally. I'm glad they did not go that way, but there is a clear distinction between ignoring the Constitution and interpreting it differently than someone else might. |

Finally

Of course, in full Bush-Derangement-Syndrome mode, the New York Times headline screams the story: "Bush Weighed Using Military in Arrests" Not until the 3rd paragraph do you discover, no doubt much to the disappointment of the paper of record, that Bush quashed the program, before it ever got off the ground. Sorta like when the Times reported the "Super Duper Secret we won't tell Congress about the plan to kill Al-Quaeda guys" last month - which they also told us about in 2002. |

I would think that the VP is supposed to offer the Prez. "other options". Wether he agrees with it or not. I have a question for the lawyers among us. (you know who you are) How did the Govt. justify using federal troops ( comanded by MacArthur) against the demostrating vets after WW One? |

Mmmmmmm, pie!

This is why Obama wants to establish a civilian militia type force armed and equipped at the same level as the regular military that has the power to act as a military force inside the country. All under his command, of course.... that way when he decides to declare martial law and seize control as our "Dear Leader" he will have a domestic army to put down any resistance to the final takeover........ |

Take off the tin foil hat, Larry. That would be a Republican plan. Democrats don't believe in that sort of thing. |
