1. I don’t know about the nukes, but what you wrote about the John Warner Defense Authorization Act of 2007 (Public Law 109–364) is absolutely true. It’s right here on pg. 322 of 439. http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/PLAW-109publ364/pdf/PLAW-109publ364.pdf

   SEC. 1076. USE OF THE ARMED FORCES IN MAJOR PUBLIC EMERGENCIES.

   (1) The President may employ the armed forces, including the
   National Guard in Federal service, to—
   ‘‘(A) restore public order and enforce the laws of the United
   States when, as a result of a natural disaster, epidemic, or
   other serious public health emergency, terrorist attack or
   incident, or other condition in any State or possession of the
   United States, the President determines that—
   ‘‘(i) domestic violence has occurred to such an extent
   that the constituted authorities of the State or possession
   are incapable of maintaining public order; and
   ‘‘(ii) such violence results in a condition described in
   paragraph (2); or
   ‘‘(B) suppress, in a State, any insurrection, domestic
   violence, unlawful combination, or conspiracy if such insurrec-
   tion, violation, combination, or conspiracy results in a condition
   described in paragraph (2).
   ‘‘(2) A condition described in this paragraph is a condition
   that—
   ‘‘(A) so hinders the execution of the laws of a State or

   State or possession, that any part or class of its people is
   deprived of a right, privilege, immunity, or protection named

     • What really concerns me is that I consider myself well-informed on what is going on within our government, but I completely missed this. Not only that, but talk radio and the blogosphere seem to have missed it as well. Why has nobody (except YOU!) noticed this major change in the nature of our government? Is this the end of federalism?

       So all these States that are refusing to implement Obamacare…Will the U.S. military be surrounding their State Capitol buildings? What about the legalization of marijuana in Colorado? That’s clearly “opposing the laws of the United States”, right? I don’t like this.

       I know that a number of Generals have been fired under Obama. That, in combination of the repeal of Posse Comitatus, is concerning. This is how coups start. http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/10/23/military-sources-obama-administration-purging-commanders/

     • I’m with you snopercod. Why not more of this in the media?   This is something all dictators do in history…Hitler just shot them, Stalin too. Obama just fires them. And now, that the Muslims can grow beards in the military, and our military is now being turned into a “anything” goes sort of prison camp. . It’s more likely to attract criminals.   Obama is building his army.    I think what is happening is the same psychological thing that happened when the Jews were being lead to their death: They just couldn’t believe that they were not going into a shower.   Nobody…just nobody can believe that a United States President would do such a thing. But he is doing things right in front of us…   So, Obama FIRES the top commanders? By all accounts, Obama —-maybe trying to get some nukes is not all that far fetched.
