OK Einstein what exactly would Martial law look like? I think it would be road blocks, curfews, complete media blackout, the loss of gun rights, and a suspension of rights. But please tell me were I am wrong and do it with details not round about answers .

No need to hold my hand. You don't need martial law to make a executive order. So what exactly is your point.
People like to think the worst look around it will be your personal guide when you see military in the streets instead of cops martial law will have been declared until then relax.
We still have the right to our guns and free speech and travel ? What exactly has this Martial law taken away from us?

We agree in principle we really do. I think executive orders are unconstitutional. I hate them I really do. I love what our founding fathers had in mind and I think our country is messed up big time. And I also think they will use martial law in the end.
But I don't think it has happened yet they don't have everything lined up all the way to flick the switch and declare it.

"War and Emergency Powers Acts
Since March 9, 1933, the United States has been in a state of declared national emergency. In fact, there are now in effect four presidentially-proclaimed states of national emergency: In addition to the national emergency declared by President Roosevelt in 1933, there are also the national emergency proclaimed by President Truman on December 16, 1950, during the Korean conflict, and the states of national emergency declared by President Nixon on March 23, 1970, and August 15, 1971.
These proclamations give force to 470 provisions of Federal law. These hundreds of statutes delegate to the President extraordinary powers, ordinarily exercised by the Congress, which affect the lives of American citizens in a host of all-encompassing manners. This vast range of powers, taken together, confer enough authority to rule the country without reference to normal Constitutional processes.
Under the powers delegated by these statutes, the President may: seize property; organize and control the means of production; seize commodities; assign military forces abroad; institute martial law; seize and control all transportation and communication; regulate the operation of private enterprise; restrict travel; and, in a plethora of particular ways, control the lives of all American citizens..."
