Maybe you didn’t get to the post where I explained that I am not talking about military removing a President from office. I am talking about military detaining enemy combatants, regardless of who they are.

Do you believe that Congress lawfully gives the military the authority to do that in the NDAA?

And do you believe that the NDAA is about NATIONAL DEFENSE, not law enforcement? Law enforcement is after the fact; national defense is PREVENTING an enemy combatant from being able to blow up the whole country.

I do not believe the military is authorized to perform operations involving national security in the United States. Not without specific authorization from the President.

Frankly I think you are either trolling or off your meds.

If there is one thing we do NOT need in this country, it’s the military trotting around detaining those they decide on their own judgement who are enemy combatants.

There are exceptions, of course. Somebody launches a Beslan or Mumbai style attack, I hope the military is called in quickly. But that’s a battlefield situation.
