Can it? Yes. It has already been tested during Hurricane Katrina and the "pandemic" . Will it stand the scrutiny of the courts afterwards? Probably not. However, will that stop them from doing it? No.

If your "could this happen" question is in earnest, you've not been paying attention. Under the current administration? Come on. . .

Trump wanted to implement it in 2020, and was not pleased when he was told it was unconstitutional. Fortunately, there were military commanders that knew their oath was to the Constitution, and not to him.

So yeah, it’s possible.

 

[Hammer67]

Well it would certainly have to be federal. And since many places would not cooperate with the feds and would not implement Marshall law on their own, the feds would have a hard time enforcing it nationwide.

Exactly. Declaring it and carrying it out consistently, across the entire country, are two very different things. And isolated short-term examples, like what happened in NOLA during the hurricane, are also a far cry from nationwide. Not to mention there would be a lot of people tasked with carrying it out who would object, or flat-out refuse.

 

[Talyn]

Some states/cities will have more problems than others as the 2020 Summer of Love clearly showed.

I'm not concerned about any of the Northern Rockies states.

Would bringing up "87,000 new armed IRS agents" be appropriate here?

Lotta folks have taken permanent naps on Everest and are preserved for time immemorial.

Yup. Put the Everest hike in my "You Can Have All Mine" column.

(BTW, I've read Jon Krakauer's Into Thin Air at least three times--a ripping good story, and absolutely terrifying.)

Dead is dead. The ground's "cold" six feet down pretty much everywhere. As The Lovely Mrs. Snake would say, Lo mismo da?
