Trump says he could invoke the Insurrection Act if courts continue to block his deployments

https://www.cnn.com/us/live-news/national-guard-chicago-portland-trump-10-06-25?post-id=cmgfozmty00003b6nl9qny9b7

Insurrection Act threats: Trump suggested Monday he could invoke the Insurrection Act if courts continue to block his deployments, raising the prospect of using the centuries-old law to bypass unfavorable rulings. Several attorneys general have already pledged to take the administration to court should the president attempt to invoke the wartime authority.

If he invokes the Insurrection Act it is basically Martial Law. THAT will KILL the economy. It will be another COVID without the disease.
