Martial Law is going to be starting to take effect around Christmas this weekend. I'm grabbing my guns and overthrowing this crap. Elections won't ever be held again, so basically America became a Dictatorship.

Just a slight overreaction, I'm sure,

He is a disgrace and he should be impeached immediately - the United States is turning into a state which has some sort of Imperial direct rule from the Executive Office. But believe it or not, there are people on this forum who i've argued with on this matter who actually think that the government should be allowed to hold subjects or citizens for weeks if not months on end without being charged along with totally ignoring the constituion [i'm sure they won't mind me mentioning them so they can reply should they wish to [@]HotelUser[/@]; and [@]Catzsy[/@];]. It is very scary how they intend and are undermining our common law both in the United Kingdom and the United States. There comes a point and I think we are reaching it where lawful rebellion is the only option left. But for the moment, Restore the Republic, Restore the Constitution - RP2012

I want Ron Paul so bad to restore our freedom and government. Limited Government is best government. But if this Martial Law is for real, elections will be skipped for 2012 and there won't be any elections until Martial Law is lifted. So we could have President Obama for another 1-30 years now.

So as of really soon, we are pretty much a dictatorship.

Can someone please explain how this means that elections will never be held? Why is there such a lack of trust? It's not like Obama is going to go around handcuffing everyone and throwing them in prison, is it? The courts will still deal with cases...

Just looking for an unbiased explanation please!

The bill allows for 'suspected terrorists' (which is such a vague term in itself) to be arrested on U.S. soil and who could then be sent to Guantanamo Bay/held for an indefinite amount of time without being charged with anything. This of course is against our most precious values on both sides of the Atlantic of which is our shared common law which gurantees our freedom and restricts the government.

But another conservative senator, Rand Paul, a strong libertarian, has said "detaining citizens without a court trial is not American" and that if the law passes "the terrorists have won".

"We're talking about American citizens who can be taken from the United States and sent to a camp at Guantánamo Bay and held indefinitely. It puts every single citizen American at risk," he said. "Really, what security does this indefinite detention of Americans give us? The first and flawed premise, both here and in the badly named Patriot Act, is that our pre-9/11 police powers were insufficient to stop terrorism. This is simply not borne out by the facts."

Or if you prefer a musical version..

Ah I see, how strange. What's triggered this rather drastic change?

This could very well be a hostile move from Obama and his puppet masters to keep him in power, due to the demise of Obama looking ever more likely.

As I don't by any means, understand the American law orelectoralsystem, I can't comment further.
