You can't have both.

No one wants to think that it could happen here, but it almost did in the 1930's. (I'm referring to Long)

Once you give the government these expansive emergency powers, it's only a matter of time before they decide, it's an emergency, and the police state begins to set in.

The government already has a track record of getting away with using the military to enforce decisions in various parts of the country. There is a precedent for this, and anyone who ignores this puts their freedom in peril.

With all due respect, this is crazy. By this logic, anything less than anarchy will inevitably lead to dictatorship.
