How odd. Bush has just made it much easier to declare martial law

Read the Kossack Diary. The money quote:

So now the President can send troops from Tennessee to quash what he deems a threat to civil order in Oregon, even if the governors of Tennessee and Oregon both object.

This, by the way, is how the Chinese - whose approach to government and party building Bush seems so much to admire - broke up the protests in Tienanmen Square. They brought in troops from the provinces who knew nothing about what the protest was about, but knew that if they were ordered to shoot, they had to shoot

I wonder why they would want to do that?

I guess the polling data must be really, really bad.

Or maybe Halliburton finished building the camps?

NOTE Though I always thought they’d just use football stadiums, like Pinochet did.
