Are you concerned that martial law might be imposed in the United States?

I hear people toss around the threat of martial law. It was mentioned when Richard Nixon spoke of "sinister forces" at work in America. Many seem to fear that President Obama might impose it to remain in the White House. Putting aside the hysteria and hyperbole, has it ever happened before? Can it now? What are the chances?

CPT Jack Durish - The suspension of Habeus Corpus by Pres Lincoln. Later authorized by Congress.

CPT Jack Durish - I could cut and paste the Civil War, WWII and several times at the state level, but I believe you know that. Not to be confused with suspension of Habeus Corpue, but they do go together at times.

He could try but I don't think he understands the fact that there is far more people that disapprove of him than approve, especially within the ranks of those who would be tasked with enforcing Martial Law.
In fact, I really don't foresee martial law ever being enforced on the general public in the US. So many military members and law enforcement are conservative minded that unless there was some type of legitimate threat I doubt they'd so much as lift a finger on enforcing martial law anywhere. Most would probably laugh and move on with their days.
