You know it will. The condition that allows the Insurrection act to be invoked is that conditions "make it impracticable to enforce the laws of the United States in any State by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings..." That is not the circumstances currently. Courts are operating openly and freely in all parts of the country.

Courts in the U.S. can't easily assert jurisdiction over foreign defendants using military satellites to cause mischief over the Internet. Moreover, it's POTUS's judgment if, in his opinion, "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.

And what part of the Insurrection Act gives the President the power to do that?

See above. If they have CJ Roberts on tape telling Breyer that he would make sure Trump didn't get reelected, there is ample evidence to send him to Gitmo. Refusing to schedule cases related to the election at SCOTUS, where he is in the minority, certainly is obstructing the execution of the laws of the United States and impeding the course of justice under those laws. That's without considering the more salacious allegations being made about him.

And invoking the Insurrection Act allows him to do that how?

But it is emphatically not his call to determine whether conditions make it impracticable to enforce the laws through normal judicial proceedings. And that is a requirement for imposing the Insurrection Act in the first place.

It's illegal to detain a U.S. citizen in Gitmo without trial, as any court allowed to operate would quickly point out. So your plan would require martial law and suspension of the courts, Congress, and the Constitution.

Just because you don't like the verdict doesn't mean courts aren't operating as they should. It just means you disagree with them.
