 While the mainstream media is preoccupied with the bogus budget discussions (the 4 wars we are in is the elephant in the room) and the reality show known as 'Will They Raise The Debt Ceiling', the President quietly released a memorandum that allows Army and Air Force personel to be deployed to the streets of America disguised as National Guardsmen.  Under section 315 of title 32, United States Code, this was already permissible by Presidential order, but that authority is now delegated to the Secretary of Defence, who's position is about to be filled by a yet to be named sucessor to Robert Gates.
Deploying the United States Army against the citizens of the United States is not permissble under the Posse Comitatus Act, but the National Guard is.
