OMOLIVES, Earlier replies have pretty well covered you, virtually none of which you have worthy answer to. Anyway something short, while you accuse me (falsely) of ignoring the law you ignore the general lawlessness of your president. Jan 6, 2021 .. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/January_6_United_States_Capitol_attack .. an attack on the democratic election process was clearly more of an insurrection than the BLF protests which were protests against racist violence in the USA. Jan 6, unarguably, was more of an insurrection.

Trump and Miller say judge rulings against Trump administration lawlessness represents judicial insurrection. Seriously? How else but by making rulings according to the law as they see it are judges supposed to support the rule of law principle.

To present day and Trump threatening to use the insurrection act in any situation he deems, by fabrication, justification of it's use. To see if Trump is being reasonable, compare the reasons he is giving for it's use today with the circumstances in which that law has been used in the past:

How has it been used in the past?

The Insurrection Act has been invoked a handful of times in American history.

Abraham Lincoln used it when the southern states rebelled during the US Civil War, and former President Ulysses S Grant invoked it against a wave of racist violence by the Ku Klux Klan after the war.

In the 20th Century, former President Dwight D Eisenhower invoked it so the US Army would escort black students into their high school in Little Rock, Arkansas, after the state's governor refused to comply with a federal desegregation order.

More recently, it was used in 1992 when massive riots broke out in Los Angeles over the acquittal of four white police officers in the beating of Rodney King, a black man. Then-President George Bush sent in active-duty members of the Marines and Army as well as National Guard troops.
Are there any limits on the law?

The US government has traditionally worked to limit the use of military force on American soil, especially against its own citizens.

The Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 was enacted to restrict the military from acting as domestic law enforcement. In times of unrest, states typically deploy the National Guard themselves to help maintain order.

Since returning to office, Trump has expanded his authority by declaring national emergencies - which gives the president access to powers and resources that are normally restricted.

He has used this authority to impose tariffs and, more controversially, to take action on immigration and deploy federal officers, the National Guard and even active-duty troops to cities including Washington DC, Los Angeles and Memphis.

In March, following his emergency declaration at the border, Trump invoked the rarely used Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport migrants he alleged were gang members. In April, the Supreme Court temporarily blocked that effort.

If Trump chooses to invoke the Insurrection Act, it remains unclear what legal challenges he might face.

Your defense of Trump is a poor one because the power grabs he continues to illegally make are basically indefensible.
