Two problems I see; 1) The Posse Comitatus Act prohibits US Military from civil arrest/confining within the US, and 2) The US Military has no jurisdiction for civil arrest outside the US. This is wrong no matter how you look at it.

It’s wrong since they are voting next week and this is the first time I’ve heard about it. How about a little debate? How about the republican candidates weigh in on it?

A third problem is that the government refuses to be constrained by any law restricting its power. So what the Bill of Rights, or the Posse Comitatus act says, is wholly irrelevant.

protest is considered low-level terrorism Except where the President explicitly endorses it:

And when he doesn't, like a Tea Party event, the army might just show up?

Finally and issue that both left and right can come together on and tell our government NO!

This is wrong no matter how you look at it. Whatever restrictions exist because of current law, can be overturned in a moment by the passage of a different law.

Since when has current law constrained the regime?
And yes, I wholly understand that the answer to that question, becomes the start of a revolution and either the fall of the nation or the restoration of Constitutional government.

As some of the other posters on this thread this is the first I've heard about this piece of proposed legislation. So, I want to learn more. However, if this law empowers our military to take action against U.S. citizens on U.S. soil then I believe the Posse Comitatus Act will have to be amended or even rescinded. I would be opposed to our military being empowered to take action against U.S. citizens while on U.S. soil. However, keep in mind that we've had U.S. citizens show up on the battlefield in both Afghanistan and Iraq. So, I'm ok with wasting them in situations such as this. Also, if we are ever going to shut down illegal immigration on our southern border it will be necessary to militarize it I think which will require some amending to the Posse Comitatus Act to do this. So, guess we need to do some listening and learning and then ping our respective congress persons and senators....

I believe Fortney Stark is on record gloating about that idea.
