Martial law is the temporary replacement of civilian government by military rule, often enacted during emergencies or crises when civilian authorities are deemed unable to function, leading to a suspension of civil liberties and the application of military law.
All three branches of the federal government have now been effectively "gagged" and rendered dysfunctional by the Democrat Party. Resulting in an Executive which is being hobbled by an out-of-control JUDICIARY. Inaction now will lead to rapid descent and dissolution of the U.S. as a nation governed by constitutional law.
(1) The Democrats, along with other nefarious actors, have effectively poisoned the JUDICIARY. Without an impartial and uncompromised JUDICIARY, as the Constitution requires, we as a nation of laws will face unprecedented chaos and civil disorder.
(2) These agents of change now have a chokehold on the EXECUTIVE branch of the government as a result of (1) above. And are preventing the EXECUTIVE from discharging its responsibilities to defend the country as constitutionally mandated, by reversing the orders of the EXECUTIVE through issuing illicit TRO's by lower court justices at an alarming and historically unprecedented rate.
These issuances by renegade judicial authority have created a constitutional crisis of epic proportion. With a CONGRESS temperamentally unable or unwilling to act under the authority granted to it by the CONSTITUTION to rein in such an unabashed power grab, the only effective remedy at hand would be a suspension by the President of habeas corpus, and the enactment of martial law under UCMJ.
This is necessary because we now have ALL THREE BRANCHES of the government held hostage ALL AT THE SAME TIME by politically criminal enterprise, leaving the country critically vulnerable to the actions of enemies foreign as well as domestic.
Suspending habeas corpus and placing the Democrat leadership, its bureaucratic acolytes, and judicial reprobates under UCMJ procedures for sentencing and punishment for treason, sedition, and insurrection against the American people (by having deliberately disenfranchised and effectively nullified the votes of 80 million Americans in two consecutive presidential elections) is a remedy of last resort.
But I believe the time has come to right this existential historic threat with the only weapon these people seem to fear--trial, imprisonment, and possibly execution, for crimes against the country. This is the only way we are going to get there.
Once the ground here has been salted, it will be a long, long time before another festering coup d'etat with hundred-year-old roots ever again flourishes on American soil.
No, Trump is playing the long game. He has to, there is no way this congress would back him up in a real crisis.
Under what I’d call some specious thinking we ended up with such fiascos as “The war on drugs” and “The war on terror” and “The war on poverty.” These were hailed as the one and only way the nation could address these issues. I’d argue every one of them was a disaster and a cover for lots of wasted spending and political pork. Let’s not try anything that drastic. It’s frustrating to fight every black robe who ever sat on the bench. But perhaps that’s the fight we need to end to win the other fights.
“With a CONGRESS temperamentally unable or unwilling to act “
See, that’s the beauty of their tactic.
They’re exploiting a weakness in the American system: if one judge alone is willing to walk out on the plank just far enough to bend the rules to almost the breaking point, they can control virtually everything without having to convince 218 Representatives to vote “yes” on it, a process that takes weeks and months.
If anyone thinks this isn’t a coordinated tactic being run on the back channel, they’re living in La-La Land.
IMHO, Trump, and the American people, no longer have "the long game" as an option.
No. He’s not that dumb.
If he were to do that then Trump would immediately lose all political support and be portrayed as a tyrant. Lincoln got away with a lot of that during the Civil War, but that was another era.
The U.S. has been in a low simmer state of martial law since the beginning of the cold war. The President has extraordinary powers in the event of extraordinary circumstances. Whether Trump pulls that particular grenade pin remains to be seen.
No, dear, why would he do that?
“The U.S. Constitution doesn’t explicitly mention martial law, nor does it define who can declare it, but it does grant Congress the power to regulate the military’s domestic use, and the President, under the Insurrection Act, can deploy troops to suppress domestic rebellion.”
____________________________________________________________
The “calling forth” clause, case law, and black letter law all require that civil authorities at the local or state level, have exhausted their ability to engage and repress an actual rebellion. It’s duration is only until the civil functions of government, including the courts, police, etc, are restored.
It didn’t workout well for that South Korean president.
This fight against judicial tyranny is not up to the executive branch alone. Only if and when Congress realizes they are also subservient to rogue judges, will anything ever be done
There are not enough soldiers to enact martial law on the USA.
Possibly and only if he could be assured of military loyalty, Trump could use massive force in an area heavily plagued by leftist terrorism. In 1962, Kennedy used 30,000 regulars to suppress anti-integration rioting at the University of Mississippi. Governor Ross Barnett of Mississippi encouraged the rioters, who threatened to kill Federal marshals sent to protect a black student wanting to enroll. State police protection was withdrawn.
If he does, I suspect we’ll have all out civil war.
What are the proper remedies?
“This fight against judicial tyranny is not up to the executive branch alone. Only if and when Congress realizes they are also subservient to rogue judges, will anything ever be done”
Bears repeating
They won’t. Many of them don’t care because they got their piece of the pie. Now they sit and do nothing.
My tagline is the answer. PURGE the evil from the government and corporations. What else do we have to lose?
