Bush rushes to become Sully

[The Whiskey Priest]

Authorizing federal troops to operate inside the U.S. will be our Republics Rubicon.

1. Sulla

If I were a Republican, I'd be worried at all the power the next Democratic president is going to have.

2. Bush Wants More Power

George W. Bush used his failure to prevent the attacks of 9/11/2001 to seize power with the Patriot Act.

Similarly, Bush is using his failure in responding to Hurricane Katrina to try to seize power.

Bush wants the power to order the military to arrest people in the US. Currently, the military is barred by the Posse Comitatus Act from arresting people in the US. Changing this would negatively affect the nature of our society and the right to protest.

3. Sulla did march on Rome...but it was Julius Caesar who crossed

the Rubicon with the 13th Legion.
