"The Posse Comitatus Act was passed in 1878 in response to the Union Army’s occupation of the Confederate states following the Civil War, and prohibited the deployment of US troops within the borders of the United States. Having never met a law or constitutional stipulation that he liked, George Bush is working hard to deploy up to 20,000 US troops within the United States borders."
The ACLU has more.
Remember that crack I made about there being plenty of time left for more massive Bush fuckups. This one screams like a Cheney, if you ask me.
To be used for crowd control?
