'maybe even declaring martial law when civil rights are waived.'

That would be interesting. However, as it is. Obama and Congress repealed Pres. Bush cabal over the States.

Sec. 333. Major public emergencies; interference with State and Federal law

'(a) Use of Armed Forces in Major Public Emergencies- (1) The President may employ the armed forces, including the National Guard in Federal service, to--

(A) restore public order and enforce the laws of the United States when, as a result of a natural disaster, epidemic, or other serious public health emergency, terrorist attack or incident, or other condition in any State or possession of the United States, the President determines that--

(i) domestic violence has occurred to such an extent that the constituted authorities of the State or possession are incapable of maintaining public order; and

(ii) such violence results in a condition described in paragraph (2); or

(B) suppress, in a State, any insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination, or conspiracy if such insurrection, violation, combination, or conspiracy results in a condition described in paragraph (2).'

I have no doubt Obama is bad, but FReepers kept their mouths shut when President Bush was 'given'[Thanks GOP] 'martial' law power.

I'm sorry, but you were unclear. Has Section 333 been repealed or is that the current law??

(i) domestic violence has occurred to such an extent that the constituted authorities of the State or possession are incapable of maintaining public order; and

Does that include flying ashtrays in the case of the Clintons?

Cheers!
