20. And could local police be "federalized" under programs like the ones in Florida and Alabama?

Apparently, those states have joined a program to "federalize" the police for purposes of illegal immigrant crackdowns, and the program is being considered in several other states. If chaos erupts when Bush refuses to leave office, will he try to federalize all police in the country where Republican governors are in power? I don't doubt for a minute that some police officers would love to get in some target practice on civilians at check-points, the way some soldiers do in Iraq.
