The Insurrection Act is not extra-Constitutional. It doesn't allow him to supersede the Constitution. It's a law, subject to the courts (how's that turning out?) It isn't the magic that most Freepers seem to think that it is. Here is the language of Title 10:

Whenever the President considers that unlawful obstructions, combinations, or assemblages, or rebellion against the authority of the United States, make it impracticable to enforce the laws of the United States in any State by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, he may call into Federal service such of the militia of any State, and use such of the armed forces, as he considers necessary to enforce those laws or to suppress the rebellion.

Even if he tried, he would be Impeached and removed (this time).

He’s already been impeached once and is already being removed. What has he got to luze?

It’s time to step up and surround him like Yeltsin. This is a Communist coup d’état.
