You do know that terrorists have been acting inside this country and many have been apprehended. In every case I’ve been aware of here inside this country, the civilian system of justice took care if it, not the military.

Now, there is the Fort Hood shooter and he was active military and it was handled by military justice. He wasn’t the Commander in Chief, however ... :-) ...

You’re not going to find someone in a “lower position of authority” in the military going after someone in a higher position of authority, unless they have orders from someone who is in a higher position, still ... or has the authority that gives him that higher position.

In other words, the “Commander in Chief” is not arrested by his “underlings” ... LOL ...

Now just where does this “higher authority” reside in order to deal with crimes by the Commander in Chief. The founding fathers gave us that authority, and that’s through the US Constitution and the US House of Representatives, and the US Senate (all together). That’s where the “higher authority” resides.

And it’s up to them to decide to “do something” or to “do nothing”.

You don’t seem to understand the difference between law enforcement and national defense. And you’re totally unwilling to address the NDAA, War Powers Act, or anything else I’ve actually brought up. All you say, over and over again, is “It’ll never happen here. Impeachment is the only thing anybody can ever do to Obama.”

I don’t buy that. Unless you can show me where in the NDAA it excludes the POTUS from being detained, he too can and should be detained if he is determined to be an enemy combatant.

As to whether anybody in the military would do what was necessary to save a lot of lives, even if it meant going over and above somebody above them - do you think the guys at Ft Hood thought twice about the rank of Nidal Hasan, and whether they had authority to try to stop him from shooting up the place?

Amnd again, what say you about Ty Woods? Hero, or totally unconstitutional stupido?
