I believe in accuracy...

Please provide proof that Martial Law has been declared. You say it has, right?

The words "martial law" do not appear in Louisiana's Constitution or code. Nor do they appear in the US Constitution or code. Tough to declare something that doesn't exist.

I said in plain English that I had "heard that martial law had been declared." I also said "I have not seen that confirmed." And I said that what is being done now is only constitutional "if martial law has been declared."

Hell, I know what the Constitution says. I know as well as anyone that only martial law, declared in accord with the US and Louisiana constitutions, can trump the Bill of Rights for American citizens. That, or taking up arms against the government, which I do NOT, EVER say that this citizens in their homes are doing.
