Yeah. Let's just leave it up to the fuckhead from Connecticut

Connecticut Native George Bush recently signed into law the John Warner Defense Authorization Act of 2007 which amends some super fun parts of US law like

  • The Posse Comitatus Act of 1878

  • The Insurrection Act, a set of laws that limits the President's ability to deploy troops within the United States

    • That's right boys and girls, the Republican Congress, without too much fanfare, further enhanced Bush's dictatorial power and gave him the ability to federalize national guard troops without the authorization of the Governor of their state, gave him the ability to garrison NG units from one state in another state, and allows him to task military forces with police functions over the objections of State officials.

    For the current President, "enforcement of the laws to restore public order" means to commandeer guardsmen from any state, over the objections of local governmental, military and local police entities; ship them off to another state; conscript them in a law enforcement mode; and set them loose against "disorderly" citizenry - protesters, possibly, or those who object to forced vaccinations and quarantines in the event of a bio-terror event.

    The law also facilitates militarized police round-ups and detention of protesters, so called "illegal aliens," "potential terrorists" and other "undesirables" for detention in facilities already contracted for and under construction by Halliburton. That's right. Under the cover of a trumped-up "immigration emergency" and the frenzied militarization of the southern border, detention camps are being constructed right under our noses, camps designed for anyone who resists the foreign and domestic agenda of the Bush administration.

    No, this isn't a bunch of Alex Jonesian conspiracy crap. It's real. I wonder how many loyal Republicans realize that their President is working hard to gut the Constitution they claim to love?
