The author is clueless as to the definition of martial law. Inherently it is rule by the military outside normal constitutional processes. The governors and mayors in the northeast instead are acting in accordance with powers granted to them by their respective state constitutions and laws.

Doing so is reasonable in for limited time in the face of extreme weather, but I can easily see individuals going overboard when granted extra authority. The NE is rife with would-be petty tyrants like deBlasio.

Yes, and the article is typical of the unreliable verbiage that appears constantly on wnd.com.

(I’d just as soon trust BernieSanders.com!)
