I just hope Obama doesn’t use this to use our own troops on us for “civil unrest”.

I wonder if he’s actually afraid of pushing that button.

There are a lot of “Oath Keepers” in the military.
Part of the oath they sign is the refusal to act against American citizens in such a manner.

He wants to maintain his facade of “commander in chief”.

He better hope he doesn't have to, because I don't think he will like the results!

I think, if he tried that, the military would refuse the unlawful order, and if Congress didn’t at that point impeach him, they wouldn’t be honoring their oath. They all took an oath to support the Constitution, and he would be ignoring his. I trust our military to do their duty.
