It is Article 1 Section 8 ................not 2.At that point I don't think anyone would give a shit what 9 people in robes had to say.
And the reality of your hypothetical would have so many constitutional issues swirling around that it is impossible to say what the prevailing facts would be in (legal or illegal) order to put down said "insurrection."
It would have to work it's way thru the courts and SCOTUS before anyone can say such an order would be legal and constitutional. Are you psychic to know how some unknown SCOTUS would rule ? Originally Posted by Whirlaway
