Did some digging on this. Didn’t take much!

“It also makes it possible to do away with posse comitatus in cases of ‘emergency’. Posse comitatus is what protects American citizens from the military being used against them.”
“Emergency Powers Statutes (Senate Report 93-549): In this 1973 official report, the U.S. Senate admits that the Emergency Powers given to the President (Franklin D. Roosevelt) under the pretense of the National Emergency of 1933 have remained in force and that the normal function of the Federal government has been suspended. [93d Congress, SENATE Report No. 93-549, 1st Session]”
“Currently, the United States remains in a permanent state of national emergency (22 U.S.C.A. 286d. 1977). Executive Order 12919[4] dated June 3, 1994, otherwise known as National Defense Industrial Resources Preparedness, was signed by President William Jefferson Clinton.”
“On October 29, 2003, President George W. Bush continued the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)) regarding Weapons of mass destruction for 1 year, with the “national emergency declared in Executive Order 12938, as amended.”
“NATIONAL EMERGENCY: (as defined in Black’s Law Dictionary) A state of national crisis; a situation demanding immediate and extraordinary national or federal action. Congress has made little or no distinction between a “state of national emergency” and a “state of war”. Brown v. Bernstein, D.C.Pa., 49 F.Supp. 728, 732.”

From snowybear’s link:
““NATIONAL EMERGENCY: (as defined in Black’s Law Dictionary) A state of national crisis; a situation demanding immediate and extraordinary national or federal action. Congress has made little or no distinction between a “state of national emergency” and a “state of war”. Brown v. Bernstein, D.C.Pa., 49 F.Supp. 728, 732.””
And since we are in a ‘state of war’, then there can be unlawful combatants, subject to military tribunals, correct?
(Who was the freeQer who was researching the unlawful combatants; I wanted to include them in my ping, but couldn’t recall who it was)
