The military should never be used for domestic law enforcement

What is the definition of is?

Does domestic refer to the location of the arrest or the nationality of the suspect.

Defining domestic as pertaining to location would seem to preclude the defense of the nation if foreign invaders could get a foot on US soil. Seems to me that this legislation is redundent since our military already posses the power that Ridge et al are seeking.

Wrong! The military in the US has no power to shoot or arrest a terrorist inside the US even if he is in the act of poisoning a water supply.
