However I see no need to eliminate Posse Comitatus. Just because jihadis attack us why must extreme measure be taken against citizens.
Perhaps govt officals know that have not the will to close the illegal alien loophole because of political correctness. So they will try to keep safety by placing harsh measures on the citizens, which seem for the those same govt officals more palatable than securing the borders.
Posse Comitatus was intended to prevent use of our military against civilians. The abuse of government power by using military as a police force against POLITICAL enemies should always be enforced.
Use of military troops to guard borders, attack enemies within our country, investigate and arrest terrorists, etc., are not the intention of PC, and Leahy and his ilk are blowing smoke.
Question - who would be prez today if X42 was not barred from using fed troops against his domestic enemies?
