So what are you saying, JR? That concerns about errosion of posse comitatus are invalid?

There are lots of nice little countries where the military plays a much more significant place in the day-to-day lives of its citizens. This ain't one of them. I, for one, don't want it to become one.

I think that regarding Bush's recent comments as evidence that he is taking us down the slippery slope to a facist dictatorship is pretty moronic.

I think dismissing a discussion of the issues that his recent comments bring up as mere "Bush bashing" is even more moronic.

PD.. where did I ever make fun of legitimate concerns? What issues am I dismissing? Where has there been a discussion of this issue and the legitimate concerns that would need to be addressed?

I was mostly addressing the original post which typifies the rationality and tone any news item with the word "bush" in it.

The threat is real. Its a real problem unlike any we have faced in history. How do we deal with it? Bush asked Congress to think about the issue and you are pointing out the legal issues that have to be thought about. Bush can't give the government more power.
