There are so many different topics to discuss these days. In the last few weeks, I have covered H1N1, cyberattacks, GMO food, vaccinations and martial law at depth. It appears that Posse Comitatus is becoming a major issue again. This appears to be the year when everyone wants to deploy the National Guard to solve EVERY problem.
I have covered Posse Comitatus in past blog posts, but here's a short summary. Earlier this year, the town of Schenectady, New York proposed deploying the National Guard. There were troops on the street in California conducting checkpoints, as well as in Tennessee. Even the NAACP is calling for martial law and troops on the street.
Ironically, the military was investigated when it deployed troops in the recent Alabama shooting for no real apparent reason. However, due to the financial crisis, Jefferson County, Alabama is now considering using the National Guard for law enforcement due to the fact that police budgets are being cut.

The sheriff in Alabama's most populous county may call for the National Guard to help maintain order, a spokesman said Tuesday, after a judge cleared the way for cuts in the sheriff's budget and hopes dimmed for a quick end to a budget crisis.
Circuit Judge Joseph L. Boohaker ruled that leaders in Jefferson County — now trying to head off a municipal bankruptcy filing of historic proportions — could go ahead with plans to slash $4.1 million from the budget of Sheriff Mike Hale, who had filed a lawsuit that temporarily blocked spending cuts for his office.
