Oh I certainly hope that my President vetoes this garbage.

I can't think right now, but I just reviewed three (?) links regarding measures that would make me even poorer. ha Having to do with Section 8's.

I recall the movies, hundreds of them, whereby the local police just flash a badge and commandeer your auto!

Well, your source calls it a "repeal" of Posse Comitatus, but that is only a wiki editor's opinion. But it does seem that the idea that Posse Comitatus restricts the power of the President to use US armed forces for law enforcement becomes moot once this is passed.

I'm no lawyer, but this doesn't sound like a "violation" of the Posse Comitatus Act, but an "extension" or "clarification" (or some other weasely word). From Wikipedia:

That doesn't make me sleep any better, however.
