>>except in such cases and under such circumstances as such employment of said force may be expressly authorized by the Constitution or by act of Congress;<<

Posse Comitatus act means the President or the military can't do this on their own but congress can authorize it for a specific action.... the first draft of this ammendment is just a particularly lame authorization

I forgot to make this statement in my previous comment. When Gilgrest (sp?) of the Minutemen was on Fox news today, he said that the National Guard would need to be kept on the border until enough border patrol agents could be hired and trained to replace the National Guard and we would need at least 25,000 NG. If this National Guard on the borders amendment only allows the NG to be on the border for ONE YEAR, it does absolutely no good. We could never train enough men to replace them in that short a time period. One year just gets the open border traitors past their 2006 elections and that's all they care about. After that the borders will go back to being wide open again as the one year time limit for the NG on the border will have expired.
