Martial Law is one thing. Usually reserved for mass outrest.

Delegating military units to enforce the will of a civilian court is another. Posse Comitatus was originally brought in to end the use of federal troops to police state elections, so it seems unlikely that it could somehow be suspended to allow federal troops to oversee elections.

Caveat: I'm sure there are FReepers who know more about this than me.

I assume O’Grady and PDJT have an official playlist they’re working from.

Hmm: if SCOTUS ordered a re-election by paper ballot in (say) Pennyslvania - and the state refused - then that would seem to be a clear case for the Insurrection act?

Where in the Constitution?

—————————-

Oh you can’t be serious. We’re talking about martial law, did you not know that? You read it for yourself.

That aspect of the constitution was modified and changed. Been within the last 30 years. I’m sorry I could not be more specific. You can go do your homework if you like.

How can martial law be a constitutional option when the US Constitution does not mention martial law?

The states may, however, impose martial law. Since the imposition of martial law would require the states that voted for Biden to act, how do you propose convincing NY,CA, etc., to go along with this hairbrained idea?

BTW, even if the states did so act, those states would still be bound by the Constitution which does not include any provisions for a ‘do over’ election. Consequently, this proposal would require the overthrow of the government by force which the Constitution considers treasonable.

Here’s some light reading.

I see no other way to freeze this chaotic mess in place, and create space to thoroughly examine what happened and find out the truth. Only some type of force is going to stop these corrupt politicians from destroying whatever evidence remains and trying to cement in place the fraudulent result.

It would be difficult to manage, but yes, Trump would have to Federally Deputize tens of millions of able bodied adults to remove the politicians and judges who won’t stop the fraud. Stand together now, or rot in prison when the violent communists get rolling.

...........I think this proposal is a sort of “geographic” martial law meaning my neighborhood precinct in west Central Texas is a polling place that could be TEXTBOOK on how to run one.

ID’s are checked. Signatures are checked. Poll workers don’t touch ballots. Poll workers only ANSWER questions. Your address where you LIVE (not a P.O.Box) must match up. A big old deputy sheriff is watching over everybody so there are no worries about anybody bullying anybody. It’s quiet and orderly. Bottom line: There is absolutely ZERO reason to have a revote at our precinct compared to a Detroit or Philly precinct.

This is the famous Scott O’Grady, Air Force pilot, who was shot down over Bosnia in 1995 and then dramatically rescued.

I concur, we either cross the Rubicon or we give away our country.

BOTH parties abrogated the Constitution when they swore in an ineligible Kenyan from Indonesia!

Now they are stealing our country with fraud.

“to address an insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination or conspiracy, in any state, which results in the deprivation of Constitutionally-secured rights, and where the state is unable, fails, or refuses to protect said rights (§ 253)”

From the Insurrection Act of 1807

Well I had asked where in the Constitution it supports martial law and you pointed me to the federal code instead. But be that as it may, from § 252:

"Whenever the President considers that unlawful obstructions, combinations, or assemblages, or rebellion against the authority of the United States, make it impracticable to enforce the laws of the United States in any State by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, he may call into Federal service such of the militia of any State, and use such of the armed forces, as he considers necessary to enforce those laws or to suppress the rebellion."

The courts are operating openly and freely.

I am serious, I have read the Constitution, and I've never yet seen the part that allows for it to be suspended and martial law put in its place. Perhaps you can help?

I do not want our Prez to do anything illegal....everybody else is doing everything illegal....against the constitution....

if the states don't do their job, if the courts don't do their jobs, and if our SCOTUS doesn't do its job, I think our Declaration of Independence points to righting these wrongs which means temporary martial law until a new election with nationwide safeguards are put in place...No dominion, no multiple dates to vote, only previously registered legally can vote, ID's, and multiple election watchers for the entire process...gee, maybe we can call in Jimmy Carter....

~~~~~~~~~~~

The courts are compromised by foreign money. Pompeo told a meeting of state governors that there was evidence some in the room had accepted foreign money.

The courts are compromised along with the governors. China is operating it’s puppets to overthrow our elections and take control of the US. This is not “open and free” operation of the courts. It is the courts refusing to hear cases even when asked by it’s state citizens and shown signficant evidence of fraud. The courts are putting their fingers in their ears singing, “LA LA LA I CAN’T HEAR YOU” so they can deliver our country to China.

You or most anyone else would not be able to tell the difference between the two.
