Here is what has to be done. Any city which experiences major disruptions of this sort should be placed under martial law. The perpetrators should be incarcerated, preferably in Gitmo-style facilities, tried and sentenced by military tribunal and subject to the penalty of 18 months in a federal prison or payment of a $50,000 fine. In addition to paying any damages to property or loss of income incurred when they are sued by businesses and property owners.

The sainted Lincoln's supposed check and balance SCOTUS had the temerity to disagree and was simply defied, without real consequence... or really was there no consequence? Does not the arrogance of the executive ring ever louder down the years, first through the Republicans but then outdone by the Democrats? The progressive and continuing breakdown of America's constitutional system, through giving the executive an ever expanding list of offenses to prosecute, is that a price worth paying for short term order?
