Jeb "calling out the troops" to go up against armed police officers doing THEIR duty seems like a reasonable thing to you?

His big brother had no problem calling out the troops to go up against Muslim extremist terrorists and Iraqi soldiers doing their duty. Thanks to President Bush's leadership, we are safer against foreign terrorists. Due to Governor Bush's lack of courage, we are endangered by domestic black robed terrorists.

President Bush was well within the law when he ordered U.S. troops into Iraq and Afghanistan. The Constitution gives him the power as Commander-In-Chief and he was authorized to do so by Congress.

However, the President is not above the law and he did all that was legally in his power to do so. We do not live in a dictatorship or a monarchy where our leader can do as he pleases. We're a nation of laws and violating those laws, even if we disagree with them, is not something the President, governor, or anyone else should be doing. If you don't like the laws, get them changed.

Straw man. The comparison is laughable on it's face.
