Gonzales is skirting the looters topic......
am typing as he speaks....
When there is civil disturbance the president has legal authority...
there are things the DOD can do
more often than not
it is the NG rather than the military that is useful
NG is exempt from posse com
for this reason we have been planning very closely for possibility of coordinated effort of NG to augment LEOs
over the next 3 days, the NG... will be deploying into NOLA a force the size of the NOLA PD each day every day for the next 3 days
