I believe this is a reference to martial law. Civil authority is overtaken by military authority. Habeus corpus is suspended (fundamental right in the Constitution that protects against unlawful and indefinite imprisonment) and other constitutional rights are not guaranteed. Usually happens during time of invasion or rebellion. AND THE BEST PART, possible military tribunals!
"martial law is the suspension of civil authority and the imposition of military authority. When we say a region or country is "under martial law," we mean to say that the military is in control of the area, that it acts as the police, as the courts, as the legislature. The degree of control might vary - a nation may have a civilian legislature but have the courts administered by the military. Or the legislature and courts may operate under civilian control with a military ruler. In each case, martial law is in effect, even if it is not called "martial law."
The Constitution is only words on paper if corrupt people are in charge. It's obviously lacking somewhere or we wouldn't be in this position.
And he didn't say toss it out. Not even close. That is a complete misrepresentation of what he said. For shame.
