The Insurrection Act and use of militia

[DuckforcoveR]

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.

Cheers

I would only hope that the country I love (and am raising my children to love) isn't petty enough to wonder which party leader is adored more by the military.  

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.
