Section 254 of the Insurrection Act mandates a President make a public proclamation ordering insurgents engaging in rebellion or domestic violence to disperse peacefully before deploying federal troops and/or federalizing National Guard units domestically.

Additionally, were that to occur, these troops would gain the authority to perform civilian law enforcement functions (e.g., the ability to make arrests domestically) that are normally prohibited under the Posse Comitatus Act.

I mention all this because the statement released by his DOJ (Blanche) serves as a primer for that very proclamation, making clear what he intends to do if necessary.

In effect, the case for action is now being made to the public and to those who are acting unlawfully that it’s coming lest they change their ways, stat!

Spoiler Alert: They won’t. They’ll only grow more violent b/c it’s clear that they’ve passed the point of no return…and Trump isn’t going to change course. Nor should he. Doesn’t take a genius to see where this is going. Pray for our Republic.
