Annotation: Martial law involves the temporary substitution of military authority for civilian rule and is usually invoked in time of war, rebellion, or natural disaster.
Abstract: When martial law is in effect, the military commander of an area or country has unlimited authority to make and enforce laws. Martial law is justified when civilian authority has ceased to function, is completely absent, or has become ineffective. Further, martial law suspends all existing laws, as well as civil authority and the ordinary administration of justice. In the United States, martial law may be declared by proclamation of the President or a State governor, but such a formal proclamation is not necessary. Although the U.S. Constitution makes no specific provision for the imposition of martial law, nearly every State has a constitutional provision authorizing the government to impose martial law. The power of martial law, once held to be nearly absolute, has limitations; for example, civilians may not be tried by military tribunals as long as civilian courts are functional. Nonetheless, within the bounds of court decisions, a military commander’s authority under martial law is virtually unlimited. Martial law has been declared nine times since World War II and, in five instances, was designed to counter resistance to Federal desegregation decrees in the South. Although a climate of mutual aid has always existed between the military and civilian law enforcement and should continue to exist, Department of Defense personnel are limited in what they can do to enforce civil law. Military personnel cannot be used in surveillance or undercover operations, and they may not be used as informants, investigators, or interrogators unless the investigation is a joint military-civilian operation in which the military has an interest in the case’s outcome.
NYT didn’t have the vapors over Obama’s pen and phone.
Maybe he has Biden’s health records and medication history.
What part of “Aren’t allowed to know” do you not understand?
Hopefully one of those secret powers is the ability to arrest journalists who illegally receive privileged material from “unnamed government officials.” (Violation of national security laws.) Or who simply make it up and pretend they got it from such officials (sedition of treason).
Kinda makes me think of “Animal House” when Dean Wermer put the Deltas on double secret probation.
Now, it would appear as though there are double secret emergency powers.
>>The past few weeks have given Americans a crash course in the powers that federal, state and local governments wield during emergencies.
Um, state and local governments don’t have the power to pick and choose which political gatherings are acceptable (union meetings, BLM protests, Marxist arsonists for anarchy) and which are not (Republican conventions, Trump rallies, church meetings).
Look! On the TV! Its ......
Here is hoping that one of his powers is to induce heart attacks on all liberal Nov. 4th!
Perhaps the president’s emergency powers could finally put the New York Slimes our of its long, racist misery?

"Expansion of the President's power to declare martial law under revisions to the Insurrection Act, and take charge of United States National Guard troops without state governor authorization when public order has been lost and the state and its constituted authorities cannot enforce the law (amended in 2008 by H.R.4986 SEC.1068"
"Sec. 333. Interference with State and Federal law
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--
(1) 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
(2) opposes or obstructs the execution of the laws of the United States or impedes the course of justice under those laws. In any situation covered by clause (1), the State shall be considered to have denied the equal protection of the laws secured by the Constitution."
Wasn’t abused for hundreds of years, but now we really must look to how we can maintain our rights and reel the tyrants in as they create healthcare emergency hoaxes to justify de facto dictatorships at the state and local levels. Maybe Trump will go there too with using the army to force the Fauci/Gates “vaccine” on us?
Apparently the NY. slimes has not read NDAA which authorizes the president to do all manner of things.
Mysterious powers. Spooky powers like what the God they don’t believe in has.
Well, since everyone that works over there at the Old Gray Slut (not you this time, Lizzie) are officially diagnosed imbeciles, how would it be helpful for you to know what those powers are?
Oh, dear, the president might stop the riots and restore order! Fascism is ddaening! Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!
Strategy: How Trump may preserve and protect the Federal Election process in 2020 and beyond
October surprise:
President Trump issues an E.O. requiring Voter ID for Federal Elections. There's the instant end to all the Mail-in ballot non-sense.
Next, post at least one armed, National Guard member in full gear at every polling place in the US and have an ICE Agent on call. Protection of all voters is therefore assured. (e.g., No more Blank Panthers with clubs at Philadelphia polling places)
Issuing such an E.O. like this would cause Dems to judge shop and impose an injunction, but President Trump would ram it straight up the United States Supreme Court (USSC) on an emergency hearing, due to the shortness of time before the election.
It might actually be law right now (I am not a lawyer), but have President Trump declare that all polling places involved in Federal elections are surrogate Federal facilities, for the time of polling, because they are handling Federal documentation for a Federal election, where Federal Electors are selected per Article 12.
An official government issued ID will be required to enter the surrogate Federal facility for the time that ballots remain at the polling location. This is literally Voter ID. After the polls close, the ballots are remanded to Federal custody, and ferried to a Federally secured location accompanied by the National Guard member(s) already stationed at the polling place.
Since the USSC building and Federal polling places are each deemed to be Federal facilities under the protection and control of routine Federal facility access practices, there would be a seamless solution to which USSC could not object either conceptually and legally.
The USSC would have to acknowledge that entry to the USSC requires a Federal ID as does entrance to every other Federal Building.
Federal Property Law and Legal Definition:
“20 USCS § 107e defines “federal property” as any building, land, or other real property owned, leased, or occupied by any department, agency, or instrumentality of the United States (including the Department of Defense and the United States Postal Service), or any other instrumentality wholly owned by the United States, or by any department or agency of the District of Columbia or any territory or possession of the United States.”
Theory: Could polling places used in Federal Elections be considered to be “occupied” by “department, agency, or instrumentality of the United States,” such as the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, for instance?
The Civil Rights Division of DOJ is vested with assuring that the voting rights of citizens are upheld, and it is the division to which voting right civil rights complaints may be filed. In essence the DOJ would supervise a Federal election as it deputizes the polling place for temporarily housing a division of local Civil Rights Division units of the DOJ.
Thoughts?
FReegards!
Maybe the NYT should go look it up. Oh the federal code is so large no one can possibly know what is legal and what is illegal? Hmm, maybe that should have been the story for the last 50 years.
The US code is bad enough but then you add regulations on top, you have a tyrannical government that can find a reason to go after anyone that is not favored.
Another big boomerang will soon hit the dems squarely in the face.
