#1 City officials and Hispanic community leaders objected Thursday to the federal government's plans to put monitors at city polling places on Election Day, saying those efforts could discourage people from voting.

My, what a hundred years does. Back then, white Democratic politicians objected to federal troops posted at southern polling places, there to insure the rights of blacks to vote. So, in the muck the Hayes/Tilden election, the Democrats got the Posse Comitatus Act under the guise of protecting civil liberties, but in fact to insure that blacks would lose their right to vote, and just about every other right, in the south for a hundred years. In the end, its not about rights, not about equality, not about fairness. Its about power.

#2 Didn't Posse Comitatus also interfere with the provision of federal law enforcement after Katrina?

#3 PC only applies if its used by someone you don't like or support. If a Democrat were to use Federal troops to impose law, the ~~neo-socialist~~ liberals would cheer. You know the standard 'for me but not for thee' principle.
