Some nut on FOX just said the military should perform domestic law enforcement.

Beside the fact that it is prohibited by the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 the lunatics who are willing to die to kill others will start taking shots at the military too!!!

If they don't stop screwing around on this GE, Obama may have to stick around for another term, which is another thing they don't want.
