Ukraine Parliament Extends Martial Law
Breitbart ^ | 02/06/2024 | OLIVER JJ LANE

Posted on 02/06/2024 11:30:43 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

The Ukrainian Parliament has decided the nation’s state of martial law will not expire later this month, extending it a further 90 days.

Martial law will last until May 13th in Ukraine at least — and likely much longer than that, as the national Verkhovna Rada confirmed a law approving a presidential decree made on Monday. The measure passed with an overwhelming majority in the parliament where 11 opposition political parties were suspended in 2022, accused of fomenting “division or collusion” by President Zelensky.

As noted by Ukrainian state media, the original martial law was activated on the day of the Russian re-invasion on February 24th 2022, and was then extended on April 25, August 23, and November 21 of that year, then in 2023 on February 19, May 20, August 18, and November 15.

I probably shouldn't help an outsider with US history, but I don't recall Lincoln outlawing Copperheads prior to the 1864 election.

Maybe he could cite Woodrow Wilson instead.....

Sounds like the martial law the US had in border states and the South from 1861 to 1865.

The last time someone seriously tried to destroy the United States, the US Civil War, we had martial law across much of the country for nearly five years. Abe Lincoln threw the Maryland state legislature into prison, without charges, for starters.

Lincoln didn't throw every pro-South Democrat into prison, but he threw a lot of them into prison.

For example, General Ambrose Burnside arrested Copperhead Congressman Clement Vallandingham and threw him in prison without formal charges for violating martial law. Lincoln vacated the conviction and instead expelled Vallandingham into confederate-held territory, effectively banishing him from the United States.

Was there an election in 1864? Did Copperheads participate? Those are yes or no questions, btw.

Two accurate and worthy points.

Aside: I accidentally pinged you (Tench_Coxe) to post #14 when I should have pinged mrmeyer, however you are right there in this discussion, thank you for your comment, NP. Sorry to all for the clerical error.

There was an election of sorts. There was an election in some states, no election in the 9 states still in open rebellion, there were elections in occupied-Louisiana and Tennessee but the electoral votes from those states were not counted, and a large number of copperhead elected politicians were either in prison or banished from the union.

Saving democracy means Z, the Quisling, cancels the vote that would toss him out on his ear this spring.

And yet, by Union arguments the South wasn't allowed to secede, and they were all still part of these US, so he wasn't actually expelled from these US, right?
