From Steve Gilliard, I see the Bush administration would like a "permanent uniformed police force" provision added to the PATRIOT Act. They would be answerable to the Dept. of Homeland Security, and known as the "United States Secret Service Uniformed Division." The proposed language says they could

make arrests without warrant for any offense against the United States committed in their presence, or for any felony cognizable under the laws of the United States if they have reasonable grounds to believe that the person to be arrested has committed or is committing such felony

Goodness, couldn't they at least find a name that doesn't include SS?

Attention wackos: I'm not comparing the GOP to Nazis yet. I think they're closer to Franco or South American-style kleptocracy/fascism. I know none of them (except perhaps Dr. Rice) know any history, but really! What a terrible name!
