    DC is under Marshall law in all but name right now.

    “The Process takes time…” At this rate the process will get around to warning him he should stop shortly after he executes his political opponents and just before he starts executing judges who opposes him.

      DC isn’t under martial law. Technically, the district belongs to the federal government already, they’ve just been under a kind of conditional self-administration since the 70’s, I think? The only way to take away Trump’s authority over it, would be to grant DC official status as a State.

      And just curious…what system would you suggest, that is better than what’s currently in place?

        If you’re not going to bother reading posts before replying what’s the point?

          It’s not even “in all but name”, though. Martial law is not even remotely the same thing as just calling in the national guard…especially in DC.
