Obambi wants a civilian police force equal in size to our military. Seems he wants to do an end runaround posse comitatus.

A “State of Emergency” or more honestly “Martial Law” trumps all other legal considerations.
hussein won't let a little thing like the law get in the way of his ascension to the emperor's throne.
I've got a sick feeling jug-ears plans to build his throne from a pile of corpses like his soul-brother mugabe did.

You might be too young to remember the good old days. This is the 101st Airborne in Arkansas.

Yes it prevents our government from using our wn troops on us, but not to aid us in a disaster.
The question is will our own troops fire on us?

You might have missed it when President Bush signed that nice little piece of legislation that basically tramples the Posse Comitatus Act...recall
HR 5122 of 2006--The John Warner National Defense Authorization Act of 2007 (Public Law 109-364)?
Wikipedia summarizes its provisions, including:
Expansion of the President's power to declare martial law under revisions to the Insurrection Act, and take charge of United States National Guard troops without state governor authorization when public order has been lost and the state and its constituted authorities cannot enforce the law (repealed as of 2008);
Fortunately, some of it has been repealed, but I think that its original passage demonstrates that the GOP is no friend of the Constitution these days, either.

Doesn’t the Posse Comitatus act prevent this??Exactly how much power does an "act" have, if the US Constitution no longer has power?
