If the Govenors fall for this; they don’t deserve to be in office.

[Blood of Tyrants]

He will pay as much attention to them as he does the rest of the people.

[dynachrome]

Are they expecting something this summer?

[livius]

What? Where did this come from? What is the purpose of this and why haven’t we heard about this before?

[John.Galt2012]

Pantera, you got it. Will the ten states with the largest Federal and Natl Guard presence be on the council? They meet at the call of the Sec Def and DHS. Is this the groundwork for controlling State's Military?

[Rodebrecht]

Fascist theory of government: “If they disagree with you, shoot them in the face.”

[rockinqsranch]

“Oh goody. Another Federal Committee.”

Yes, that’s also what I see here. It appears to me he/they/them are further entrenching the Fed beyond its Constitutional assignments.

Get out the suspenders as the Fed is getting too big to button its britches anymore.

[AU72]

The language is that the Council is advisory, but this is the first time that a legal body is established between the National Government and the States.

This is unconstitutional.

[Mariner]

Preparing for revolution they are.

[Bluebird Singing]

I guess we haven’t heard about it before because it happened today:

THE WHITE HOUSE
Office of the Press Secretary
For Immediate Release January 11, 2010
EXECUTIVE ORDER

[Shadowstrike]

You are assuming we'll be allowed to vote in 2010, and 2012.

[CyberAnt]

Not just martial law, but what about that other army that was talked about on the campaign .. a “home” service with as much power and as well funded ..??

These people are taking over America unless we get busy and stop them.

[Pantera]

Is this true?

“...but this is the first time that a legal body is established between the National Government and the States. “

Martial law is the system of rules that takes effect when the military takes control of the normal administration of justice.

Usually martial law reduces some of the personal rights ordinarily granted to the citizen, limits the length of the trial processes, and prescribes more severe penalties than ordinary law. In many states martial law prescribes the death penalty for certain crimes, even if ordinary law does not contain that crime or punishment in its system.

Originally martial law was imposed during wars or occupations to let the government control population more effectively in spite of heightened unrest. Nowadays it is most commonly used by authoritarian governments to enforce their rule, for example after coup d'état (Thailand 2006), when threatened by popular protests (PRC 1989), or to crack down on the opposition (Poland 1981). Martial law can also be declared in cases of major natural disasters, however most countries use a different legal construct like "state of emergency".

In many countries martial law imposes particular rules, one of which is curfew. Often, under this system, the administration of justice is left to a military tribunal, called a court-martial. The suspension of the writ of habeas corpus is likely to occur.

[depressed in 06]

CA, NY, MI, IL, OH, PA will be 6 out of the 10. Can you say disproportional representation?

For the remainder, can you spell R-I-N-O?

[ColdOne]

What is going on?

[CyberAnt]

TRAIN = WE THE PEOPLE!!

[Rodebrecht]

No kidding. I don’t think he ever outlined how this “civilian” national security force would be commanded.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

And what if the Gov refuse to show?

[CyberAnt]

There’s an election in November ..???????

Is this the goon squad getting set up to steal the election ..??

These people are so out of control.
