I am a know-nothing is this regard, but could US citizens face military courts in a National Emergency?

In POTUS’ Dec.21 EO, I recall the words National Emergency were used.

Plus “BHO”/0bola is not a US citizen, and I have no doubt that the POTUS team knows this full well.

-- ... could US citizens face military courts in a National Emergency? --

Depends on the emergency. If the courts are open, the public has recourse to them. Civil War case, Ex parte Milligan, 71 U.S. 2 (1866) is the starting place.

It is an open question whether or not a US citizen enemy combatant taken in the US can be kept out of the civil court system, but the likely answer to that is "they cannot."

That’s good, I forgot Obummer wasn’t a citizen, waterboard for him.

That's been my supposition. And there could be varied uses of these things - for example, tribunal sits at Gitmo +/- Camp David and receives evidence which can then be used in + by other activities.
