Our Founding Fathers protected our unalienable rights by specifying what they were in the Bill of Rights. An unalienable right is outside of government authority and control. The idea of martial law in a republic such as ours is repugnant. Any government official attempting to impose martial law would be breaking their oath of office to support and defend the Constitution. They would be committing treason. They would be 'pissing' on the graves of our Founding Fathers and putting the documents they wrote to the torch. They would become an enemy immediately. Martial law is despotic. It is dictatorship.

I have to wonder: since the Commander in Chief is technically not allowed to deploy the military against US citizens on US soil, would this be a loophole?

It's all over the country
