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

Mike Flynn has been extremely careful with his words. He didn’t say this. Lin Wood did and later apologized

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

And when do you think that will be?

The Constitution shall not be suspended.

Agreed, poor choice of words. However it MUST be defended thru applying its own provisions. What is happening now is sedition and treason. There are provisions for that. Insurrection has remedies and the President swore an oath. Far as I’m concerned, any who dont stand and fight by all available means are complicit.

The military would not obey that order anyway,which would make Trump look even worse.

This is totally untrue -the headline refers to an adviretisment that the group We the People Convention printed in the Washington Times.

Just because (if ) General Flynn may have re-posted their post (haven't done my due diligence and due digging on that yet).

Please have the mod's either change the headline, or delete the post. I suggest deleting the post as it is incredibly misleading.

Suspending the Constitution DOES make it worthless.
If it’s suspended, it won’t be restored.

There’s a pretty good chance of that.

I wouldn’t rule that out.

If not settled by SCOTUS, what choice do we have? The fraud will continue into the mid-terms. SCOTUS will be packed with supposedly 5 more justices. DC and Puerto Rico will have statehood and more dem congress critters. 22 million illegals will be voting in the next president. And who knows, we may have gotten rid of the electoral college.

If not this hill....What hill?

“As a republic our Constitution puts the final say on the election in the hands of the Legislature.”

As far as the Election I think the Supreme Court holds the card. Once the Supreme Court rules in favor of Trump the Legislature will vote.

The only way Martial Law would be declared if the people do not accept the Legislature choice.

Correct me if I my thinking process is incorrect.

Trump can’t run for 2 more terms if he stepped down. It’s 2 terms or 10 yrs. Like if Sleepy Joe keels over in Feb, Kamala could serve out his term but only be reelected once

I want Trump to remain in office but it has to be worked out in a very reasoned and above board manner.

They used to call that voting...Until they subverted our sacred privilege of voting. It's impossible to, "Work something out out in a reasonable way", when dealing with unreasonable deceitful people. It's what's on the menu.

If you can’t prove in court that Trump won, or otherwise that the election was irreparably harmed, then accept loss and fight to preserve the Constitution.

If you cancel the Constitution, you cancel America as we know it.

You can’t save the Constitution by suspending it.

Then speak of suppressing insurrection in accordance with the Constitution, not suspending the Constitution.

Let’s straighten out the confusion over the 2nd Amendment.

Sounds right to me.
The courts is where allegations and evidence are tested and “proved”.
The Congressmembers will want VERY strong evidence of a corrupted process before they will step in to protect the vote!
So the rulings and process of the courts, especially the SC, will be decisive to Congressmembers

Martial Law. indeed, would only be applied if a large number of people revolted against the Constitutional process.
