MAXIMUS PANDAMONIUSInsurrection Act
The Insurrection Act is a United States federal law that allows the president to deploy the U.S. military and federalize National Guard units within the country in limited circumstances, mainly to suppress insurrection, domestic violence, or rebellion, and to enforce federal law.Basic definitionThe Insurrection Act is primarily codified at 10 U.S.C. §§ 251–255 and dates back to 1807.It serves as a major statutory exception to the general rule under the Posse Comitatus Act that the military cannot be used for domestic law enforcement.When it can be invokedIt can be used when a state requests federal help to suppress an insurrection or when unlawful obstructions or rebellions make it impracticable to enforce U.S. law through normal judicial means.It also allows intervention to protect civil rights when states are unwilling or unable to protect those rights, as was done during desegregation in the 1950s–60s.

Shinmen TakezoWell we are literally only one skip away from the insurrection act from being invoked now. We already took two hops and a skip towards this.
I wonder how these leftist politicians and street thugs will feel when they are rounded up and put into detention centers--only to face military tribunals... not federal court venues FYI.
Won't that be a laugh.
