I've said it before, but this lunatic sounding like a voice of reason just shows you how detached from reality the GOP has become.

252. Use of militia and armed forces to enforce Federal authority

Whenever the President considers that unlawful obstructions, combinations, or assemblages, or rebellion against the authority of the United States, make it impracticable to enforce the laws of the United States in any State by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, he may call into Federal service such of the militia of any State, and use such of the armed forces, as he considers necessary to enforce those laws or to suppress the rebellion.

Once declared, martial law could also be declared, removing habeas corpus and allowing military tribunals to take the place of duly elected judges. With Turnip, anyone not in full fledged favor of his demands, could well be put in front of such a tribunal. You have only to look as far as the revenge cases against those who worked on things like his impeachment, or those who worked on gathering evidence for a trial, such as Jack Smith, or those who have gathered attention by publicly disclaiming him in a national setting. Further, with martial law, it could be demanded that all citizens remain with in their homes as a curfew to prevent further public unrest.

By the time that tribunals were to be set up you can be sure, only Turnip supporting officers would be allowed to be part of such a tribunal.

The country is being incited into civil war by the Democrats who continue to demonize Trump, ICE and anything that The President elected by the people tries to do. Trump was elected because of the promises he made during his campaign. EVERY Democrat running for office has the same message, that they either have, or will do whatever it takes to stop Trump. They have no other agenda but to defy, delay, and thwart the president. That's what will lead to civil war!

That was literally the Republican Party agenda from Jan 20, 2009 to Jan 20, 2017.

No, what will lead to civil war is uncalled for killings. Most use the word 'murder'. The protestors aren't the ones with the guns doing the shooting...yet. If it keeps up with these shootings, the other side is sure to eventually follow.
