I'll begin with a gentle reminder about what it took to pass the Antiterrorism bill. Then president, Bill Clinton had to nullify the Posse Comitatus Act, which disallowed any military movement against civilians in America.
Today we will listen to arguments about why Gen. Michael Hayden should replace Porter Goss as the director of a civilian post in the CIA.
To consider Gen. Hayden for such a position would be pointless if this administration gave a hoot for our constitutional rights, but our current president's past actions as governor of Texas is all the proof we need to know that his allegiance has nothing to do with America's Constitution. What proof is this I speak of? The Davidian compound massacre. The karma from that fiasco brought out the wrath of Timothy McVeigh upon Oklahoma.
Here we go again; this time putting a military general over a civilian policing agency. For how long will we the people of America be willing to suffer the karma of this president? Know that to appoint this over-qualified military man over a civilian agency is a direct violation of the Posse Comitatus Act put forth in 1878.

you cant really argue against an american officer of the military assuming any position in government is wrong since that goes against ordinary logic. the officer in the military is already an american citizen. your argument starts with a false premise that there is something wrong with americans in uniform helping to stop terrorism from killing americans.
you can make any statements you want about it but once you go off the highway of logic you are off roading in your own world of ideas. thats sometimes okay unless you seek to change public opinion. if you want to
change public opinion i would recommend you stick to the road. you'll always get farther faster and with a lot fewer dents and pings in your arguments from others like myself.
