Mr President, you’ve given them every chance to work with you in the defence of the Republic.
They have shown they are not interested.

Declare Martial law Mr President. It’s the only way to save the Republic.

You will be remembered as the American Cincinnatus.

My local “conservative” talk show radio station yesterday afternoon was imploring Trump NOT to do that, and bashing “both sides” for this.

Way to GO President TRUMP!

So glad to see somebody finally stick up for Americans!

Illegals are Priority No.1 for all Democrats!

I hope TRUMP shuts the southern border “Completely down”!
- and keeps it closed until the entire wall is finished, painted, and coated!

You will be remembered as the American Cincinnatus.

He would be remembered as the American Julius Caesar.

But barring a miracle, it may be the only way.

Reagan didn’t take any s-it from the air traffic controllers union when it directed its members to strike. He fired them all, and re-hired non-union workers to take their places because their absence was endangering the lives of U.S. citizens using the airlines. Some of us are old enough to have remembered that one. Trump should take note. This Congress is so complicit in granting rights to illegals over U.S. citizens that they should all be arrested for sedition and treason.

Don’t need martial law, and you don’t want martial law.

Just issue the emergency declaration, attach all the substantiation needed for a court challenge, issue the order to the Corps of Engineers, then end the shut down.

Announce it on TV, start golfing.

WashingtonFire, why you have such a hard-on for a declaration of martial law? (See here, here, here, here).

Martial law is going way too far.

For one thing, America already had a Cincinnatus—George Washington. I don't think our country gets that lucky twice, no matter how good a man we think President Trump is.

For another thing, a dictator may rule wisely and well, but it stinks to be an ordinary person subject to the dictator's edicts. Being subject to an unresponsive government is what led the colonies to rebel in the first place.

Martial law would doom, rather than save, the republic.

Declare Martial law Mr President. It’s the only way to save the Republic.

Enforcing marshal law on a nation of 300 million has never been done. The amount of troops needed to do that is staggering.
