Trump Has Several Options Still Available...

The Case for Trump to Invoke Insurrection Act to Restore Election Integrity

During the presidency of Thomas Jefferson, the 10th Congress enacted the Insurrection Act of 1807.

Jefferson signed the measure into law to foil the plot of Revolutionary War hero Aaron Burr—following the destruction of his political career after he shot and killed Alexander Hamilton in a duel—to raise an army toward establishing his own dynasty in what was then the Louisiana Territory.

The Insurrection Act empowers the president of the United States to deploy U.S. military and federalized National Guard troops to suppress civil disorder, insurrection, and rebellion. Section 252 of the Act states:

"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."

Generally, the U.S. military remains free of civil conflicts on U.S. soil, as no one wants U.S. armed forces using physical force against U.S. civilians. Indeed, when President Donald Trump threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act and send the National Guard in response to the George Floyd riots, including, for example, to address Seattle's failure to restore law and order over the so-called "autonomous zone," then-Defense Secretary Mark Esper openly stated his disagreement with the president.

Ultimately, the president didn't then invoke the Insurrection Act. But considering the possibility of the Act's invocation now, to address "unlawful obstructions" to an attempt to verify ballots, and an "insurrection" surrounding the 2020 election generally, two powerful distinctions must at the outset be noted: (1) Esper is no longer defense secretary, as Trump has replaced him with Christopher Miller, the director of the National Counterterrorism Center, and (2) troops could be deployed to take control over ballots and voting machines in swing states, rather than suppressing and dispersing rioting civilians.

The president's invocation of the Insurrection Act isn't a declaration of martial law. The Constitution isn't suspended. The writ of habeas corpus isn't suspended. The president would be using troops to enforce the law, not override it.

Trump did not lose Sparkles, the election is far from over, we still have a shitload of fraudulent votes to purge.
Point of the thread is that you progressives realize we are A Republic and there's not one damn thing you can do about it!

Trump WON, get over it!

Don't let the idiot derail the thread, that was exactly what he wanted. He knows the DNC cheated and he's fine with that, but what he's not fine with is our Constitution having a remedy for this type of fraud.
That's why his first post was designed to grab attention from the OP, "Notice me, Notice Meeee, I'm an idiot" just don't read the OP...
