Yeah, there's that.
There may be a few who are tried in military courts due to national security considerations--like the former head of CIA and others whose every move and converstation was theoretically Classified.
But overall, Trump is NOT going to go down in history as the President who rounded up political opposition and denied them access to the full process of law, i.e., the full civilian court system with all its defendant protections up to the Supreme Court (where much of this is going to end up).
First of all, prosecuting for treason is not 'rounding up political opposition'. That those so prosecuted are politicians is irrelevant. They are going for their deeds.
As far the requirement that one be in the military in order to fall under a military tribunal's jurisdiction is similarly in error. FDR executed both civilians and military saboteurs in WWII. Including US citizens. Anyone participating in conflict without gov't sanction is an unlawful combatant with no rights, can be killed in the field, taken prisoner and tried by tribunal.<[> The WWII saboteurs paid the price under this definition even though the military members were operating under sanction:
Unlawful Combatant Definition: A combatant who does not act under orders or with a distinctive uniform and conceals arms and otherwise ignores the laws and customs of war. Related Terms: Enemy Combatant, Prisoner of War. A terrorist is the classic example of an unlawful combatant.
I don’t know that I could be that certain about what TRUMP will/won’t do. I’m sure he will be patriotic. I’m sure he will thrash evil up one side & down the other resoundingly. How many prissy boundaries he will or won’t be careful about is a different matter. I believe he will work hard to be legally kosher. In fuzzy areas, I think he’ll trash traitors as hard as he can remotely get away with.
