Calm down, don't kill the messenger. I was relaying Bidens position on current police powers of the military. If he is wrong and our military is in fact able to confront and detain terrorists on our soil, you all are correct there is no need to expand any powers.

Biden is certainly mistaken. In a flood the National Guard (the state's military) is called out to prevent looting. If a Marine urban warfare team was needed to take down some terrorists in a US city they could do that since Posse Comitatus applies to citizens NOT enemy combatants and infilitrators.
Some people in govt are confused about the difference between a citizen and people whose residence is another country. They think those groups are the same.
