Open to suggestions for an edit or will let dang do it (sorry for creating more work for you @dang). That said, I do stand by the title. This EO demands the use of military to 'prevent crime' and 'assist in law enforcement'. This is the definition of martial law. ("Martial law is the replacement of civilian government by military rule and the suspension of civilian legal processes for military powers.")


Not quite martial law, but close enough for discomfort. I hope the military are well trained enough and will just refuse to comply. I know I would.


meh, you broke rules to editorialize. what do you stand by? lying about a police state?


who hurt you?
