Temperatures are rising, this summer will be ugly, you can feel the violence approaching. And don't you know--he's dying to declare Marshal Law "to restore order" and capsulate a power that will be Orwellian in how they frame it. I'd love to read JVL's dissection of what constitutional authority Trump could claim under Marshal Law, in advance. Ring the bell. This summer is gonna break bad. (You all are the best, thanks for your daily vigilance.)

Sorry to be this person, but: it's martial law. Root: mars, god of war. (martial arts, court-martial) I wouldn't do this except this is the Bulwark, where people actually care about things like this. :)

Invoking Marshal Law would be unwise for him to do. Very unwise. He would be crossing the Rubicon, but he ain’t Caesar.
