The Insurrection Act and use of militia - F2d5thCav - 11-22-2020 https://macris.substack.com/p/trump-at-the-rubicon A very interesting look at a largely unknown aspect of U.S. law and the power of the presidency.

Since Biden has been called (right or wrongly) POTUS, the US will have 2 POTUS in power at the same time using the same laws to fight RE: The Insurrection Act and use of militia - F2d5thCav - 11-22-2020 Yes, any president can invoke these powers given certain conditions. IMO, this law is open for abuse. Were Trump to do this, my guess is it would be before Biden is installed as POTUS. There is also the detail of who the armed forces rank and file would support. I don't think the bulk of them are Biden supporters.

Biden was not legitimately elected, and would not be a legitimate President, and therefore could not issue any legal orders, making all of his orders illegal by definition. Same goes for usurper-select Harris, when Biden is kicked to the curb by Pelosi and Harris is installed as a puppet. As such, all military branches, whether Militia or more organized, are required by the UCMJ to disobey any of his alleged orders, under pain of court-martial. Problem solved. .

Elections happen, consequences are real. When Trump won in 2016 I was vocal about my disdain, but also of my duty to respect the office and wish him the best. This should (and needs to) go both ways.

Probably more than half of the military are firmly in the left's camp. I've been in and around the military for almost 40 years now. It is incredibly rare to spot an employee identifying themselves as a righty. I still get a daily newsletter from a previous assignment ... nothing but left leaning/supporting articles. Last one of note said the military is gonna seriously re-look the re-naming of posts (like Fort Bragg and Fort Hood) the minute Joe Biden is inaugurated. I would bet money that the military (at the Federal Level) will have no (direct) role (aside from casting ballots) in these goings-on. Can't speak for what an elected Governor might do with his/her National Guard elements. If Biden is sworn-in as President, then there you go!! The results of the election are far from decided. Ain't that strange? First you move Tax Day ... RE: The Insurrection Act and use of militia - DuckforcoveR - 11-23-2020 "Far from decided"? Why? The results from election day are clear. And the "fraud" has been touted in the media and non existent in court (probably because the whole thing about proof being needed...). Either way, our military should be neutral to this. Individuals can be left, right, or indifferent. But as a whole they should (and must) remain neutral. If not, banana republic at best.

Even though I try to take everything I see or read on the internet with a grain of salt, I too have found myself, on occasion, sucked into the void of the black hole of deception, manipulation, and conformity. Very few things on the internet is worth the time it takes to click on it. RE: The Insurrection Act and use of militia - Wallfire - 11-23-2020 link Quote: |
