Martial Law

[Marener]

Nothing?

How do you know that, ole All-knowing Swami?

Because its absurd and pathetic.

He’s using a boogey man to justify authoritarianism. Seems kind of fascist to me.

That mad midget you worship in NK is up to something stupid again.

The only person who worships Kim is Donald Trump.

"We fell in love!"

Trump loves him some commies. Putin, Xi, Kim.

Not as uninformed as you think.

Declaring martial law because of a fabricated threat is straight out of the fascist playbook.

Only Marshall Dillon could pull off a sued vest and pink shirt.

This will be the shortest declaration of martial law in history.

It's pretty much already over.

The National Assembly voted Yoon down by two-thirds in less than two hours, despite the thug's attempts to use the police to stop them.

Now that raises the question. If the US President declares martial Law, can it be overturned by Congress?

 

[JGalt]

You’re delusional.

Trump and Yoon represent the global shift to right wing authoritarianism.

They’re weakening democracy.

Do you mean "weakening democracy" like your own party did when they shitcanned 14 million of your votes for Joe Biden in the primary election?

Ya'll sure made old Jim Crow giggle a little bit from the beyond the grave, there.

Blocking the assembly building to prevent parliament from voting down your martial law declaration is pretty anti-democratic.

So was Trump’s attempt to change electoral votes after the election in 2020.

That national emergency with respect to certain terrorist attacks on Sept. 11 2001?

It MUST be reauthorized by the executive EVERY YEAR, or else congress could vote to end it.

. . and everyone has done it, INCLUDING TRUMP.

Much of the Patriot Act, and the establishment's ability to violate folks forth Amendment rights w/o any check, depend on that.

No more national emergency? No more FISA court abuses.

Sure, because everyone knows North Korea isn't trying to sabotage South Korea's political system. Those NORKs just want to have fun, maybe sit around the campfire with their South Korean cousins, roast marshmallows, and sing a few rounds of "This Land is Your Land", right?

WTF is the matter with you morons? President Trump made a historic visit across the DMZ to meet with the North Korean leader, as a gesture of ramping down hostilities, and you idiot Democrats said they were "in love with each other."

And now you're totally denying the North Koreans would love nothing more than to see a united Korea, under the banner of Marxism?

Get the **** out of here. You Democrats are making me want to puke in the toilet when you post moronic shit like that. It's no wonder you leftwads lost the election. You should never be allowed to have any power whatsoever.

Post the evidence that this has anything to do with North Korea.

Its none of the United States' fuckin business how the Koreans run their country. The US split it in two now its time to correct that imperialist anomaly. The US should bring its 28,000 troops home so they can decamp and start working for their country to fill all the new jobs Trump will create after the mass deportation.

How about a real threat that may or may not be serious enough to warrant martial law?

How about issues that are not black and white?

Based on the limited information available this appears to be a budget issue

The conservative President won a narrow election 2 years ago and has gotten no cooperation from the leftwing since

However the libs do have a majority in parliament and have that in their favor

They have passed a budget that the president opposes but cannot stop

What part North Korea plays in all of this if any has yet to be determined

We need more information

Now that raises the question. If the US President declares martial Law, can it be overturned by Congress?

There are already Congressional statutes in place which limit the powers of a president who declares martial law.

For example, the Posse Comitatus Act pre-emptively forbids the federal military from performing civilian law enforcement duties without express Congressional authority.

Under the Insurrection Act, the military may assist civil authorities with law enforcement, but they can't take over the government.

There are a lot of gray areas which have not been clearly defined. However, even under martial law, the Constitution is still in effect, and anyone detained by the military authorities in a police action is still entitled to a writ of habeas corpus, as Lincoln found out the hard way.

South Korean President Yoon declared martial law last night. Let's hope this is not the start of something bigger.

President Yoon Suk Yeol faces impeachment vote after martial law backlash

On Tuesday night, President Yoon made a shock decision to impose martial law - but reversed his decision after lawmakers forced their way into parliament and voted against the move.

www.bbc.com

It looks to me like they're supposed to have a weak president and this mofos goin' Pol Pot n stuff.
The timing of this is quite suspect. As is the source because AP would love to gin them up some fuckin' war.
Simply put: The AP is the MIC's ******* megaphone.

Who'd be prosecuting Trump when he's immune to any act carried out as part of his official duties?

There are a lot of gray areas which have not been clearly defined. However, even under martial law, the Constitution is still in effect, and anyone detained by the military authorities in a police action is still entitled to a writ of habeas corpus, as Lincoln found out the hard way.

Yes and its precisely because of those inexcusable grey areas that Trump was not arrested and banned from politics, the law didn't stop him then and it certainly could not stop him in the event a coup, all he needs is military support and with his loyal sycophants running the armed forces it's all in the bag.

Your knee is jerking

You don’t have to be a genius to see that declaring martial law in the middle of the night and blaming North Koreans is pretty absurd.

But it’s well within the authoritarian fascist playbook.
