US of A declared a battleground for the military

[keith44]

I am still trying to verify this and find out who voted for it if it is true.  If this is true they are trying to back door a leftist take over and destroy the Constitution

So is it good to be able to respond to an attack on a nuke power plant ? or other like event ?

hmm sorry, didn't catch the date.  I am suspicious of any expansion of government powers, this effectively would nullify the bill of rights

We have been in some state of national emergency since the 1930s.  National emergency gives the government the right to use military against their own citizens and to suspend rights.  That was what happened at Waco.  Since the 1930s it is rare to find any time period that we were not in the state of an national emergency.

The great Gen. MacArthur used troops just after WW1 in Washington DC against American citizens  protesting not getting their pension for fighting in WW1.

the link you have is bogus.      I have copied below the actual text of SB1870 in the 112th Congress.   It has to do with consolidation of certain federal buildings as a cost savings measure.    nothing mentioned about the military.

The United States has been in a state of national emergency continuously for over 30 years, since the Carter administration invoked it premised on the "situation in Iran". In November 2012, President Barack Obama informed Congress that the State of National Emergency in effect since November 14, 1979 will be extended another year.^[1] The National Emergencies Act grants various powers to the president during times of emergency,^[2] and was intended to prevent a president from declaring a state of emergency of indefinite duration.^[3]
