Also there are other 6 other videos from the phones of the defendant's friends, all showing the same crime: the defendant rapes and then murders the victim.
But, you decide NOT to introduce the confession or any of the videos of the crime. Because it might upset the jury/courtroom and it seems unsportsmanlike to slam-dunk the defendant like that. You decide to just try the case on the other circumstancial evidence instead.
In the end, the defendant is found not guilty and walks. Plus, he sues the estate/family of the victim for damages and court costs.
By not invoking the Insurrection Act , this is basically the equivalent of what Trump would be doing. How many people think he's going to NOT invoke the Insurrection Act?
Trump won't need the IA if it's deemed the election interference is in fact an act of war.
Yes he does! Our system is completely broken, from the Executive, Administrative, and Judicial branches! We need the IA to completely clean house so we can send in a clean set of legislators, executives, and judges who will uphold the Constitution as it was originally written!
What would this involve and who would deem it as such?
Anything and everything at the president's pleasure.
President doesn't need congress.
US under state of emergency from Chinese hacking for years. Obama made cyber hacking an act of war.
So is interference in a critical infrastructure like voting.
As L Graham asked Kavanaugh, anyone involved in abetting the enemy is an enemy combatant and has their constitutional rights suspended.
Thanks, and what’s the difference between the Insurrection Act and Martial Law?
Martial Law is suspension of civil governance.
IA allows military to pacify an insurrection / rebellion.
To add to your comment... It also allows the military to ACT AGAINST American citizens on American soil...
What’s the difference between IA and Martial Law?
I wouldnt hazard to guess what Trump Team's plan is, but whatever it is, it will be a clean sweep. We should not get hung up on one act or another.
Your arm chair quarterbacking, and you can only see half the field.
Probably right. But the half I can see is irritating the shit out of me.
I've heard a couple times today that he has already signed it.....
I hope he has!
