In the case of the Waco massacre, the executive branch of government in charge of enforcing Posse Comitatus became the violators. We have a constitutional mechanism for dealing with this situtation and it is called impeachment.

That may be so but the potential exists for thousands of US citizens to be murdered by our own government before having to answer any charges.

It's my understanding that Posse Comitatus can only be suspended during a declared National emergency.

But then Clinton thought of himself as omnipotent and looking back, for all practical purposes, was.

You are probably right, but then wasn't the clinton presidency a national emergency?

Oh, yeah. It was never "declared" such!

If guys like Clark can sweep to the front of the pack in Dem politics, its just more proof that the whole democratic party is a corrupt organization.
