Oh hell, just pass the thing then we’ll worry about what’s in it. Isn’t that what we do these days? That’s what princess Nancy says anyway.
536 people in DC need to go-—NOW!!!!!

Here is the GPO link to S. 1867
http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/BILLS-112s1867pcs/pdf/BILLS-112s1867pcs.pdf

In Section 1031 is where the concern lies.

Note that the most current version available through Thomas.loc.gov, that section is gone.

Secret Bill To Be Voted On Today Would Allow MilitaryTo Sweep Up US Citizens At Home Or Abroad

from the congressional record debate (p.45), exact language that clearly stated- U.S. citizens are exempt from being policed by the U.S. Military- may have been left out at Obama's request.

The US government has been slowly eradicating the Posse Commitatus Act of 1878. That act banned the US government from using the US military in domestic law enforcement.

Slowly eradicating? Some do not remember the Bonus Army or the debacle at Waco.

Hell, the Delta Force took out the Christian David Koresh and his followers in Waco TX. This government doesn't need laws to break, they do what ever they damn well please and that includes murdering US civilians. Posse Commitatus my aching a$$. The military needs to be turned loose in DC to clean out the rot and corruption.

Forget Waco, Ruby Ridge, etc.. the US government has been slowly eradicating the Bill of Rights. The eradication has accelerated since about 1967.

Methinks this "eradicating," might not end well.

For the Republic...

Slippery Slope bump for later....

This should be an impeachable offense, right here, right now.

Another step closer to a police state. Little by little, Obama is edging us closer. McCain and Graham are mere dupes.

[SunTzuWu]

This has nothing to do with US citizens inside the US. It is for alleged citizens on a BATTLEFIELD. It is in response to the traitor who was blown up by a drone recently. You remember don’t you? There were many FReepers who insisted that the nationality of every combatant encountered on the battlefield be determined and that they then be accorded all legal rights. Like most bad ideas, this one is a over reaction to a perceived wrong. While it is a crappy idea and needs to fail, it is NOT what you are making it out to be.

There's no reason to shed Posse Commitatus Act of 1878 unless you want a dictatorship and I can assure you that Lindsey is the sort of guy who has always thought that he and the other nobles should be running the country while the unwashed masses kiss the feet of the nobility. A** kissing is reserved as a means to test the loyalty of those who want to be allowed to serve the nobility in a way that somewhat elevates them above the other sorry peasants groveling before the power of the State. As gardeners, drivers, body servants, etc.

[bamahead]

The US Senate Armed Forces Committee, led by Carl Levin (D-MI) and John McCain (R-AZ), held a secret closed door session to insert ominous new Federal powers into the Defense Authorization Bill. This is the annual bill to fund the US military. These new powers were requested by the Obama administration.
