Phoebe Lostroh: Would the military obey him? I have a glimmer of hope they would … not comply … which is also a horrific thought. Civil war.

It's important to note that Trump tried to order this at least twice we know of during his regime.

right. the president could order troops to suppress protesters using live fire and the supreme court would extend that absolute immunity

Would the military obey him? I have a glimmer of hope they would … not comply … which is also a horrific thought. Civil war.

Great to know that the President can order murder of civilians and not be prosecuted, but someone in the military could be prosecuted for refusing the order.

But soldiers can't be prosecuted for disobeying unlawful orde... Oh, shit

No, as yet, the military may not be used against the citizens, order or not. Unless that law gets changed.

It wasn't military he tried to order and yeah I think cops would

The white ones anyway. When I went up the protests against the selection of Bush, it was notable that somehow they had found gazillions of white ones instead of the typical DC force.

Much more likely than the military.

yes. but no bets on the military, but at least they have education on war crimes and refusing unlawful or immoral orders

The military that is full of men who have been radicalized into the far right? They are thirsty for it.
