    Ive been wondering what the difference is between an executive that ignores court orders and acts counter to congressional laws and martial law.

      Martial law would probably allow stricter control of the internet… so Americans like me probably wouldn’t be able to use Lemmy.

      (And I’d probably also end up getting summarily executed by the American Gestapo/SS, since… I’m not white… 😖)

      Martial law generally has legal mechanisms in place to provide some limitations to duration etc.

      In other words, it would be an improvement over what is currently happening.
