    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?

      DC isn’t under martial law.

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

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

        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.
