Just wondering. Under what cercumstances can a president invoke Marshall Law. What happens under Marshall Law? Are all our rights gone? Is there a time limit? Who has to approve it?
Ask Matt Dillon...
It’s martial law.
I think you mean Martial law
You mean “Martial” ?
It was a great show starring Sammo Hung. Kelly Hu is still hot as the day is long.
I think the DVDs are available now.
“Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.” -JFK
Or Marital?
If there’s Martial Law, there will then need to be a Marshall Plan to clear the rubble and re-build D.C.
Martial Law: Article 1, Section 9 of the U.S. Constitution states, "The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it." The possible imposition of martial law is strictly curtailed in the US by a number of court rulings, most of them from the Civil War era.
Then there’s Marshall Marshall on USA Network’s “In Plain Sight”.
Since it’s not in the Constitution, let’s start by never recognizing the President’s authority to do so.
Thank you all and for putting up with my really bad spelling. I really believe that Obama is itching to do this.
I for one welcome our new Marshall overlords.
On October 1, 2002 United States Northern Command was established to provide command and control of Department of Defense homeland defense efforts and to coordinate defense support of civil authorities.[11].
On June 15, 1995, Norman Olson, along with militia leaders from other states, testified before the United States Senate Subcommittee on Terrorism. Olson's opening statement included the following:
One other important point needs to be made. Since The Constitution is the limiting document upon the government, the government cannot become greater than the granting power. That is, the servant cannot become greater than its master. Therefore, should the chief executive or the other branch of government or all branches together act to suspend The Constitution under a rule of martial law, all power granted to government would be cancelled and differed back to the granting power. That is the people. And I'll conclude with this statement: Martial law shall NOT be possible in this country as long as the people recognize the bill of rights as inalienable.
MAO-bama doesn’t need no steenking laws to invoke Marshall Law.
Whenever he wants to invoke it I a reckon.
That’s when you find out how serious your local law enforcement is about Oathkeepers.
