The President is pissing on the constitution again.

Seriously, the severity of this is painfully ridiculous.
The president just got them to change the rules that govern martial law. He wasn't content with having to ask a state's senate or governer if he could bring a federal military force into their state. WHY? For the love of god why would anyone at all think that it would be a good idea to make it easier for the president to declare martial law inside of the US? The idea of keeping federal military out of states is that the California State Militia isn't going open fire on Silicon Valley just because the President says so. Is a bunch of trained military units from Alabama who is told the fags are trying to corrupt our democracy going to have the same reservations when they're helidropped into the Bay area?

Oh, don't forget : "A little-known $385 million contract for Halliburton subsidiary KBR to build detention facilities for "an emergency influx of immigrants"

http://www.kxma.com/getARticle.asp?ArticleId=60086 has the republican viewpoint (they don't like it either, obviously).
has more on the contracts.

This is almost as vomit inducing as the news that my state just went to all electronic voting in time for the mid-term elections.

While I'm on it, let me mention how well things are going in Iraq.
