Are you saying that the Posse Comitatus Act is the only statute on the books that has divine perfection in past, present, and infinitely distant future?

There is a middle ground here. I would have no qualms about the military exercising police powers over non-citizens.

BTW, there is a parallel in the policies imposed by the intelligence community regarding the collection of intelligence against U.S. persons.
