IMPLEMENTATION OF MARTIAL LAW BEING ATTEMPTED IN THE U. S.

 

Calling the President's attempts to declare a fake national emergency "an end-run" around Congress is putting it mildly.  As the ACLU said on Democracy Now today, the concern is not only what this particular "declaration" means, but what this means for this future with this President.  

People, in general, should be much more concerned than they so far appear to be.  We will see what the coming days bring.   But at a bare minimum we should prepare for massive resistance in the event a majority of the Supreme Court should rule to uphold this un-Constitutional undermining of the power of the people's Congress.  

In the meantime, there is much that can be done.  First, the media must help.  They can help by stop framing this as merely a political game of some sort.  They can help by emphasizing that with this particular President, we must realize the imposition of martial law is a real possibility;   this ridiculous declaration is only a first step.  
 

As for persons, we need to get informed and talk with our friends.   Then, we must organize at the level which is appropriate for an assault on our democracy.  Otherwise the days of all our First Amendment freedoms will be numbered.
