Article IV, §4, US Constitution Requires Congress, Supreme Court, and the President to Stop the Steal | Eastern North Carolina Now

    (2) the unorganized militia, which consists of the members of the militia who are not members of the National Guard or the Naval Militia."

    Earlier this year, in response to the violent Insurrections in the cities, Edwin Vieira, JD., Ph.D. (our Country's foremost authority on the Militia) showed here how President Trump has the authority to send the Militia into the cities to suppress the Insurrections. But as discussed here [at endnote 11], President Trump's two previous Secretaries of Defense apparently indicated that they would not obey orders to send the National Guard into the cities. Will Chris Miller, the present acting Secretary of Defense, be any better?

    But if President Trump calls up "the unorganized militia" - which remains in existence as recognized by 10 USC §246 and which has his back - to enforce Art. I, §4, cl.1; Art.II, §1, cl.2 and Art. IV, §4 - he doesn't need the cooperation of any deep state Secretaries of Defense.

    Calling up the Militia is not equivalent to imposing "martial law"!

    I implore Patriots to become precise in your use of terminology. Calling up the Militia for the purposes at Art. I, §8, cl. 15 is not "imposing martial law" [and it's not "Marshall law"]! Martial Law is typically imposed during war time when invading military forces disband civilian governments [including the courts] in the occupied country and replace the civilian government with direct military control of civilian populations.

    What is "the rule of law"?

    The "rule of law" is a term which politicians and Attorneys General, who have no idea what it means, love to sling around: In his recent address to students at Hillsdale College, former Attorney General Barr said the "rule of law" means "treating everyone the same". That's not even close.

    Law comes from a higher source than the civil authorities. The "Rule of Law" prevails when the civil authorities obey that higher Law - be it God's Law or our Constitution. The Bible shows that Kings governed justly only when they governed in accordance with the Law of God. In our Country, the civil authorities govern justly only when they obey our Constitution. See: Lex, Rex, by Rev. Samuel Rutherford (1644) and here under the subheading, "1. The Civil Authorities are under the Law."

    8.This isn't about Trump - it's about defending our Constitutional Republic from enemy attack

    It doesn't matter what you or I think of President Trump: there is much to criticize about his policies. This fight is about whether our Republican Form of Government, with honest & verifiable elections, is to be restored; or whether our Right to choose our Representatives is to be stripped from us forever.

This is what we will lose if Congress and the President permit the cheats and subversives to get away with the election fraud.
