Psst. You aren't supposed to be rational on this thread. This is for the sky-is-falling crowd to tell us how we are descending into Nazi Germany.

Before the thread is up, you'll see references to the New World Order and the STASI as well as mention of the Patriot Act, the War on Drugs and a thousand other bogeymen -- real or imagined -- that bear no weight whatsoever on this issue.

Interesting, isn't it, that we'd managed to survive from 1787-1878 without a Posse Comitatus act? I wonder what was in place then.

Oh, and for anyone who thinks we're all doomed, please send me all of your money and cool electronics. Contact me by Freepmail to find out how to get it to me.

Tell you what. I'll support of a repeal of the Posse Comitatus act if every other federal law passed since 1878 is repealed also.

A literal interpretation of the Constitution, perhaps?
