Martial Law isn't in the Constitution, so POTUS won't go that route. Activating the Insurrection Act does not mean Martial Law is active. Military option is also not synonymous with Marshal Law. Under the EO, he can activate the Insurrection Act, which allows military personal to work with, utilize resources from, or replace civilian law enforcement and other agencies, to resolve it. And yes, the end result is military tribunals. It's all very legal, non-lethal, and in our Constitution, which is where POTUS wants to keep us.
I don't believe Lincoln's Proclamation 104 was the same as Marshal Law. He suspended Habeus Corpus in select areas to quell an insurrection and to silence reporters or press that were fomenting insurrection. Not the same as Marshall Law.
That said, I don't think it'a off the table if dookie hits the prop blades, I just don't think it will be a knee-jerk reaction by POTUS if he uses the Insurrection Act
Yes but the other 64 times martial law has been used in this country, we survived.
He is very open about his admiration for Lincoln above other presidents.
Temporarily coloring outside the lines a little in order to save the Republic from literal destruction and subjugation to communism (which itself is far more injurious to the Constitution) and then going right back to normal governance would not be the end of the world IMO
It's unfair to expect the Framers of the Constitution to have anticipated literally every future contingency or technology. They never envisioned communism, global medical hegemony, the internet, etc. Even TV or telephones would appear to them as sorcery. Maybe we have to step in sometimes and do what we know they would have wanted (as when Lincoln rescued the Republic from itself).

LOL the UN
Even TOPNOTCH foreign troops wouldn't last ten minutes on US soil before being ground to a pinkish gray goo
I give the powder blue brigade about 90 seconds
Such bright blue helmets...each with a small round hole.
Dog the bounty hunter can take out the UN troops with his can of mace.
What can the UN do? Beg us for money and personal to invade which we would refuse or pass a strongly worded resolution which we would veto.
