“We are a nation of laws.”

Yes, and the democrats repeat that while all the time floutng those laws.

So, we have the potential of the president following the law just so the democrats can take power and destroy the Constitution that allowed them to take power. They have admitted that is their goal.

Something is out of kilter.

And if the Supreme Court doesn’t rule? So far, all the lawsuits his legal team have file in PA, GA, WI, etc. have gone nowhere.

Just like legal efforts to bring Obama, Clinton and Biden to justice failed - so will any legal effort to bring justice to a fraudulent 2020 election also fail.

Our Justice system, including the Dept. of Justice, is under the control of the Deep State.

If Trump does not go legally Scorched Earth here, he is doomed.

How can it be treason if he's acting within the law?
Of the four provisions, the most recent and the most powerful is 10 USC § 253, which was written in 2006. This is the one that liberal pundits always forget to mention when they blab about Posse Comitatus and governors. It reads:
The President, by using the militia or the armed forces, or both, or by any other means, shall take such measures as he considers necessary to suppress, in a State, any insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination, or conspiracy, if it-

so hinders the execution of the laws of that State, and of the United States within the State, that any part or class of its people is deprived of a right, privilege, immunity, or protection named in the Constitution and secured by law, and the constituted authorities of that State are unable, fail, or refuse to protect that right, privilege, or immunity, or to give that protection; or

opposes or obstructs the execution of the laws of the United States or impedes the course of justice under those laws.

A court of law is a crap shoot on its best day. I don’t want the fate of my republic being decided by 9 people in black robes. This election was total fraud that was carried out in front of your lying eyes. It cannot be allowed to succeed. The left is in total insurrection right now. That’s what this election has been turned into. Trump needs to put it down but I don’t think he will.

if trump does not prevail at the ussc level, and he does not declare martial law, then biden will assume the power to declare martial law on jan. 20.

i for one would enjoy seeing biden try to take a bicycle and fly it like a jet plane.

a third possibility is massive nonviolent demonstrations a la MLK.

the demonstrator number counts and their behavior(s) might end up defining the future direction of the country if the ussc lacks the guts to do the right thing.

in any case overwhelmingly massive nonviolent demonstrations might be worth a try since the alternatives do not have much appeal.

“Without proof of fraud then we must assume their was no fraud.”

How can you say that? We have proof of fraud up to our ears. You mean kicking Republicans out of watching and verifying the vote count, alone, is not fraud? If you have nothing to hide, what are you hiding?

Last ditch remedy and the change at DOD is a big telltale sign of possible imminence. Sidney Powell’s work and other things will serve as basis for justification.

Don’t make us laugh. There is overwhelming evidence. If courts are corrupt we have no choice.

Granted that antifa/blm/black bloc are currently using effective strategies and tactics, ...

Effective because antifa/BLM mayors allow them to be effective.

America getting attacked like it was on 9/11 was thought to be a fantasy too. Never say never is the best attitude to take so far as military options are concerned especially in times of existential threats.

Isn’t the US Code “law”?

...to take any means he deems necessary to suppress the conspiracy to deny Americans their voting rights.

How will we know when the conspiracy is suppressed?

“Of the militia who do respond, those on Trump’s side will be much better trained. As noted earlier, the military’s combat arms are disproportionately white, with the infantry being 79% white and only 9% black.”

That’s an odd tidbit of information.

Would this be the same unlimited / no oversight laws that the Left and Pres Biden would use to prevent dissent, and China Impeachment, also provide retribution for Trump supporters?

When Trump says so. There are people on this site that would applaud if Trump made himself dictator for life. Absolutely disgusting. I thought our side didn’t think like that. Our country is bigger than one man.
