Dershowitz said that the courts would get the last word in any case of martial law declared by the president.
Dershowitz was writing in relation to declaring martial law to get the protests that were raging nationwide under control, but the gist remains the same. The president would face a mountain of judicial challenges if he attempted to declare martial law.
And while this may seem like an attractive option for those who believe the election was stolen, the precedent set by it and the long terms effects could be devastating to the nation.
What then would stop a Democrat president from declaring martial law, which would suspend the Constitution, to combat climate change or seize weapons for safety after a series of mass shootings?
The legal challenges to the election are not over and the president’s attorneys are continuing to make the case to state legislatures. Martial law would be the nuclear option and it should never come to that.
