Those in the military (or former military) I know would NOT INTIATE any kind of action against a duly elected government — not even Obama’s. They ARE, on the other hand, quietly preparing for the possibility that Obama and his friends might find a way to suspend the Constitution, and/or declare martial law, and/or circumvent the Constitution in some way that is unprecedented and beyond acceptable and established limits.

Should such a series of events occur, they will be ready to resist, and to protect themselves, their families, and the Constitution. No, it would not be pleasant. It would be ugly — very ugly. But the decision as to whether it comes to that or not is Washington’s.

Obama and the communists in charge in DC get completely out of control and States start to refuse to comply.

Texas and maybe Louisiana secede and the marxist in chief issue orders to bring them back.

Senior military commanders instead round up the reds (the "progressive congressional caucus" for starters) and put them on a couple of planes to Cuba.

Provisional military government for 6 months, then new elections for all congressional seats and the WH, incumbents need not apply.

Only tax paying citizens and veterans are enfranchised in the new Republic.

All amendments other than the original bill of rights are repealed.

"Dueling" legalized within Washington DC limits.

Problem solved

Question: If the Constitution is the supreme law of the land, then who has the right to suspend it?

Surely not the President, as his powers as Commander-in-Chief stem directly from the Constitution.
Surely not the Supreme Court and their powers are likewise delegated to them by the Constitution.
Only the Legislature, with a huge majority, or a convention by The People has the power to alter or abolish the Constitution.

But IN NO CASE should the Constitution be “selectively enforced” as your method surly suggests.
