Yes, and Tom Clancy, RIP (man, he died too young) wrote about it. "Executive Orders," "Clear and Present Danger," and even "Red October" come to mind.

I wasn't actually thinking of military folks when I asked "What current employees of the Federal government would willingly use violent force to enforce confiscation of personal property that would accompany Martial Law?"

I guess it would only be the U.S. military that would enforce Martial Law?

I wonder about other Federal employees. Airport screeners -- aren't they fed employees? Those parks police and guards -- feds? The pistol packin' Fisn 'n Game punks "saving the planet"? The EPA? The AFT "Sin" Bureau? FBI?

Not military, but Federal employees with enforcement powers all the same. Some of those agencies are pretty scary.

I should bone up more on who exactly "employees of the Federal government" are, but that is what I was thinking of when I wrote the question.

Don’t forget to add all those Federal Employees who have young children.

They are not going to be happy, happy, happy with Barrys’ AG Eric Holder for stopping the National AMBER ALERT Program over the weekend.

BTW, I wonder if Barry, General of the Senate Harry “Mean Ol’ Guy” Reid, and Colonel of her former self Nancy “Always in a fog” Pelosi realize that Federal employees also have young children that need to be protected by the National Amber Alert Program?

BTW, BTW, the boy-toy, wanna-be dictator Barry Soetoro, aka Mr. Michelle Obama, COULD order his personal Corporate Jet, Air Force One, to be mothballed, by Executive Order, of course. (He must have a few blank EO forms lying around his empty chair, or his Golf bag - - - ).

That simple gesture just might, could, show that Barry also “feels our pain.”
