    Don't worry. All the right wingers who have been screaming about needing guns in case of a tyranical government are certainly about to step up. Right?

    Of course, it’s a great idea!
    Who needs a check or balance against the president, he knows what he’s doing and can’t be wrong.
    It’s absolutely mind blowing that the party that fears government overreach, reveres our institutions and history and wants the US to be powerful globally is cheering this idiot on. Because he’s wrecking all three. To thunderous applause.

    Surely I am misunderstanding it. There's no way they are actually proposing this, right? I cannot believe what I read there.

    As long as they are locking up those maga does not like, they are cool with trashing the bill of rights.

    Have to make sure law doesn't protect those who it is supposed to bind.

    Martial law. After economic or social unrest or domestic or foreign attack.

    Everything is national security already

    Give them any reason

    Feels like they are inviting it

    So if the administration believes it can be suspended at any time, it could be suspended for citizens, too?

    To be clear, are you talking about the brown people granted refugee status that Trump revoked, the white people in South Africa that Trump is fast tracking to bring here, or both?

    Wouldn’t something like this have been established by the Supreme Court … and Trump is going to override that by EO?

    I hope Republicans remember this when a Dem is elected and decides that EOs > laws and court precedent…

    How I read it was that they are looking to suspend it in its entirety, but the reason is invasion. Surely not, right?
