Well, it would seem that Prezident G. Duhb Azalea wants to federalize emergency response (by way of my favorite slight nut Lynn Samuels), and simply tromp all over states' rights:
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) accused Mr. Bush of attempting a power grab in the wake of fierce criticism that he responded too slowly to Hurricane Katrina a month ago.
"Using the military in domestic law enforcement is generally a very bad idea," said Timothy Edgar, national security policy counsel for the ACLU. "I'm afraid that it will have unforeseen consequences for civil liberties."
Ummm... wouldn't be better to just repair and streamline federal responses to state requests for assistance? Fix it buddy, don't replace it. Perhaps coordinate and communicate a little more? Oh WAIT! I used BOTH of the "c-words", sorry!
Seriously though, this does not smell like teen spirit, it sounds like a spoiled child trying to take all the chess pieces for himself.
And who loses? Why, us regular folk, that's who. Send your letters in folks.
