I’m well aware of Lincoln’s totalitarian instincts.

You’re going to count on martial law and forced door-to-door expulsions? Are you nuts? You’re going to count on someone to do THAT who wouldn’t finish her term as governor?

I know what Lincoln did and it was un-Constitutional and tyrannical. If you support that then you should have no problem with 0bama. Or Caligula.

One caveat though: declaring martial law is not un-Constitutional. Stripping citizens of citizenship is. That precedent would mean any citizen could be stripped of citizenship for any reason. Maybe for being stupid for example.
