GOP gubernatorial candidate in Virginia calls on Trump to declare martial law

[Hossfly]

This is complete insanity! What has happened to our country? People like this call themselves patriots, while at the same time engaging in dagerous rhetoric the threatens the very foundation of our republic. It is dangerous and irresponsible and suborns the idea that resorting to force is ok when you don't like the outcome of an election. They are not patriots. They are traitors and terrorists

GOP gubernatorial candidate in Virginia calls on Trump to declare martial law (msn.com)

The U.S. has never declared martial law, which gives the military broad powers in a time of crisis, at the federal level. But it has been used in some instances at state and local levels during disasters or times of unrest, such as in Hawaii following the attack on Pearl Harbor.

It's a legal grey area and any effort by Trump to use the military to overturn the election results would be immediately thwarted by Congress or the Supreme Court.

Trump's legal challenges to the election have been broadly dismissed by the courts, including the Supreme Court. The president and his campaign have not been able to prove the wild accusations they've made on social media and cable news.

if he can prove foreign intervention in the election he has a responsibility to call for it and a new election,,,

Many Republican pols are calling for Trump to declare a Constitutional Crisis and a National Emergency. There's nothing Congress or SCOTUS can do. Their hands are tied and Trump can call for a new election. Everyone would vote in person. No mail in ballots.

Oh bullshit. POTUSes can't call elections on this planet. The election is OVER and CERTIFIED and VOTED ON. The next POTUS election will be November 5. Of 2024. PERIOD.

No, Pogo. Dershowitz talked about it yesterday and said it was Constitutional. And I ain't providing a linky.

Changed my mind, Pogo. This is an excerpt from the linked article.


It appears that before he uses drastic measures, he’s trying to rule out all the other possibilities first. If the courts and congress fail the American public, the president can do what needs to be done all by himself. It is clear that we are in both a Constitutional crisis and a state of National Emergency.

All the president needs to do is declare it officially then he can use whatever force is necessary to drain the swamp and clean up the corruption which has pervaded our government for far too long.

[Tom Paine 1949]

If he must announce “martial law” I hope he claims foreigners, Martians and lizard people created the national emergency!

When the dust settles, the country may or may not be a better place, but Trump would be in jail (or an asylum) along with some of his more lunatic followers. Hopefully nobody will have pushed the button. Democracy would probably be considerably weaker, since the corporate Establishment and security state will start curtailing free speech for All opposition groups. One party rule — not the Republicans! — would result for a decade. As much as it would be fun to see some of the Trumpbot “minutemen” dragged off in chains, it would really be a terrible thing for our country.

Nope. Wanting to jail people who violate the Constitution for personal gain. Run a sane candidate and no one will object.

This isn't the first republican to call for martial law.

While they say anyone who doesn't agree with them are fascists or communists taking away freedoms.

What is with republicans?
