I had to miss some of the Homeland Security briefing.

Has the LA Governor done anything to permit the military to operate in a law enforcement capacity in New Orleans?

I am not sure she can do that. She can call in the national guard but I think to get the Regular Military in there the President has to delcare Martial Law.

That is a step to be taken lightly, if memory serves that brings in all kinds of scenarios including all insurance is null and void after that point.

I don't know 'cause I don't have a TV & radio is off.

Just posted the Posse info because people keep screaming for the President to send in the armed forces.
