Mike Flynn calls for Trump to suspend the Constitution and declare martial law then order military to hold a re-run election - and claims the alternative is 'CIVIL WAR'
Daily Mail ^

When the legislators, courts and/or Congress fail to do their duty under the 12th Amendment, you must be ready Mr. President to immediately declare a limited form of Martial Law, and temporarily suspend the Constitution and civilian control of these federal elections, for the sole purpose of having the military oversee a national re-vote,' according to the text, written byTom Zawistowski, who heads the Ohio Tea Party-affiliated group.

It points to President Abraham Lincoln's suspension of habeas corpus during the Civil War as an example.

'A vote that assures a fair election in every jurisdiction and reflects the true will of the people. Federal candidates only. Paper ballots. No computers. Hand-counted with both parties watching every vote. Only registered voters. Photo ID to prove residence. Conducted safely with everyone wearing masks and six feet apart, just like we did in Ohio,' he writes.

'Only then can the winning candidate be accepted as legitimate by a true majority of We the People who must give our consent to be justly governed! Unfortunately we are at a point where we can only trust our military to do this because our corrupt political class and courts have proven their inability to act fairly and within the law

Why? Flynn has endured the baseless, relentless attacks from the leftist thugs for years that have left him essentially broke, and his reputation in ruins. The man lost almost everything to these criminals and he’s had enough.

The Constitution shall not be suspended.

I’m with you - there’s so much evidence that this election was fraudulent, if we let them get away with it that will become the norm for every future election.

Better for the Constitution to be suspended than to be made worthless.

Losing in court and not doing anything like suspending the Constitution to remedy the situation will render America a one party tyranny.

Sometimes there are no good options, and extreme measures are the only remedies, like them or not.

That would be the end of the republic.

As a republic our Constitution puts the final say on the election in the hands of the Legislature.
That's how republics work.

Patriots cannot now trust voting systems in the United States.

The Left is turning the U.S.Constitution into a suicide pact.

We the people cannot move forward after this massive election fraud. Nobody can or will trust any future election.

There are times when chaotic conditions demand martial law. This appears to be one of them.

John Adams said in 1798, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”

A huge number of Americans are NOT moral people. If the U.S. Constitution has failed us and we are to be enslaved by Leftist tyrants, operating through fraud, claiming to be working within the U.S. Constitution, it’s time to change the government from the ground up.

AFAIK, calling marshall law does not “suspend the Constitution.” I’ve been wrong ONCE, though.

As a last resort, if the courts, legislatures and the DOJ are not going to stop this injustice, Trump needs to invoke the Insurrection Act of 1797 instead. It has been retitled for the 21st century as "The Enforcement of the Laws to Restore Public Order Act” and codified in four sections of the US Code:

10 USC § 251 Federal Aid for State Governments

10 USC § 252 Use of Militia and Armed Forces to Enforce Federal Authority

10 USC § 253 Interference with State and Federal Law

10 USC § 254 Proclamation to Disperse

Of the four provisions, the most recent and the most powerful is 10 USC § 253, which was written in 2006.

It reads in part ".... The President, by using the militia or the armed forces, or both, or by any other means, shall take such measures as he considers necessary to suppress, in a State, any insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination, or conspiracy, if it-

1. .... so hinders the execution of the laws of that State, and of the United States within the State, that any part or class of its people is deprived of a right, privilege, immunity, or protection named in the Constitution and secured by law, and the constituted authorities of that State are unable, fail, or refuse to protect that right, privilege, or immunity, or to give that protection;

or 2. .... opposes or obstructs the execution of the laws of the United States or impedes the course of justice under those laws."....

The authority is vested solely in the President. He does not need the invitation of state governors to intervene, nor does he need the approval of the Supreme Court. Older provisions of the Insurrection Act required either a governor or a judicial proceeding to authorize its use, but these limits were purposefully removed by Congress in § 253.

There is no time limit on the President’s activities. Older versions of the Insurrection Act limited the use of force to brief periods of time and then required legislative approval. Those limits, too, are also gone. The President is allowed to use any means that he (and again, he needs no one else) considers necessary. This includes using the armed forces (which enables him to bypass the Posse Comitatus Act) and using the militia (which we’ll discuss in more detail below).

The President’s ability to use force isn’t restricted to actual rebellion or insurgency. He can act against merely unlawful combinations and conspiracies. To be clear: If the President decides that a conspiracy has deprived people of a right and believes that authorities fail or refuse to protect the right, he can send in the troops.

In blunt terms, Congress has given the power to President Trump to proclaim:

“I, President Trump, have determined that a conspiracy has deprived 70 million Americans of their right to vote and that the other authorities are refusing to protect this right. I therefore order the suppression of this conspiracy by any means necessary.”

As long as the president has the military on his side (and he just replaced the Defense Secretary with one of his guys), it sounds like he can do this on his own without the courts, governors or the Congress.

Consider doing this Mr. President to restore order and stability to our Republic, our elections and our political system.

It is possible that with the wrong Supreme Court decision and no support from the state legislatures, Trump may have to make the decision to carry out his oath of office to protect and defend the Constitution and the nation, or surrender the nation to the greatest cabal of criminals in the nation’s history. And send the country off into perpetual darkness.

It's also the recommendation of Lin Wood, one of the attorneys on Trump's legal teams.

I personally believe he ought to invoke the Insurrection Act and call in the military and/or a militia, to re-run the fraudulent elections.

This may sound extreme, but what do you call what the democRATS are trying to do to destroy our Republic.

See my comment #36 on this thread.

I’ll hold my opinion until the Supremes weigh-in.
