Trump Declares Soft Martial Law, Aches For More … from Crooks & Liars John Amato

Donald Trump has finally unleashed the might of US military onto the citizenry of our Republic by enacting the“Insurrection Act of 1807,” to justify his illegal and criminal actions that undermine the Posse Comitatus Act.

“The act forbids the U.S. military — including federal armed forces and National Guard troops who have been called into federal service — from taking part in civilian law enforcement. This prohibition reflects an American tradition that views military interference in civilian government as being inherently dangerous to liberty.”

Rounding up migrants without due process is not an insurrection. Trump admitted he did not use the Insurrection Act in Los Angeles, but sent the National Guard there anyway.

Trump is now claiming that “spitting” is an act of violence against law enforcement that carries the sentence of violence, with no due process.

TRUMP: I think that you’re going to see some very strong law and order.

REPORTER: Given if you don’t plan to invoke the Insurrection Act, do you plan to send troops to Los Angeles? Even if you’re not planning to invoke the Insurrection Act, do you still plan to send troops?

TRUMP: Well, we’re going to have troops everywhere. We’re not going to let this happen to our country. We’re not going to let our country be torn apart like it was under Biden and his auto pen.
