Trump: Doch keine „Kriegserklärung“ gegen New York
Nein, Donald Trump will New York und andere Corona-Brennpunkte doch nicht abriegeln. Er hatte am Samstag laut – vor Mikrofonen – darüber nachgedacht, die Bundesstaaten New York und New Jersey sowie Teile von Connecticut zwei Wochen unter Quarantäne zu stellen. Und heftige Kritik einstecken müssen.

Kein Bundeswehreinsatz in Baden-Württemberg
Die grün-schwarze baden-württembergische Landesregierung zeigt erschreckend wenig Bewusstsein davon, was Militäreinsätze für eine demokratische Gesellschaft bedeuten. Die Gefahr von Machtmissbrauch und Willkür darf nicht unterschätzt werden.
Die Pläne, die Bundeswehr wegen Corona im Innern einzusetzen, kann nur als völlig untaugliche Verzweiflungstat interpretiert werden.
Military Force Against Americans
(9. September 2019)
After the Sept. 11 attacks, an American citizen who had been arrested in Chicago and accused of terrorism links was deemed to be an “enemy combatant” and transferred to military custody. He was held in wartime detention without trial for years, then transferred back to the civilian justice system before the Supreme Court could resolve his case. In 2011, an American drone strike targeted and killed an American citizen who had been deemed to be an operational terrorist leader whose capture was infeasible, but who had not been charged or convicted in a trial. In 2019, the executive branch was reported to be considering invoking the Insurrection Act to deploy military forces on domestic soil to enforce immigration laws.
Are any of these examples unlawful? Under what circumstances, if any, may a president use military force within the United States or against Americans?

Martial Law Would Sweep the Country Into a Great Legal Unknown
n 1946, after the war ended, the Supreme Court ruled in Duncan v. Kahanamoku that the statute authorizing martial law in Hawaii did not enable military trials of civilians, and it warned against the “subordination of executive, legislative and judicial authorities to complete military rule”—but it offered no further guidance about the circumstances that would justify a declaration of martial law, or about the consequences of such a declaration. Nor has Congress ever tried to clarify the criteria for or limits of martial law.
