A decision isn't expected to be imminent, one source said, but debate within the administration has shifted recently to more deeply exploring how and when the act might be invoked.

Fun fact: There are no insurrections happening.

That somehow, national guard deployments to cities have happened unconstitutionally anyway, is not the best sign that US is working. Constitutional loophole that all Presidential declared national emergencies are automatically real is a gaping constitutional hole for fascism.

The guard is currently deployed in limited support roles since active-duty members of the military are forbidden from conducting civilian law enforcement actions, such as conducting searches and making arrests. But the Insurrection Act allows the president to deploy troops inside the United States for that purpose.

The deployments were politically justified as “stopping rampant crime” as a fake emergency.

      Sad fact: strictly limited definition of insurrection is mutiny attempts against government. Brown shirts running over those disrespectful of C.Kirk, or any other persecutions/abuse done to please/inspired by the Fuhrer, are something else.

    It’s going to happen folks. It’s not a question of “if”, but “when” anymore. Your media is completely failing you reporting it like this. These fascists always telegraph what they’re planning to do. Soon after that, they’ll be telegraphing “Plenary power” as Steven Miller said too early by mistake.
