Could the coronavirus crisis lead to martial law in the U.S.? Experts don’t think so — here’s why.

Experts do not expect martial law to be declared or habeas corpus to be suspended in response to coronavirus.Experts say coronavirus is unlikely to lead to martial law in the U.S. because civilian governors have remained in control of their territories and local and federal governments are coordinating efforts.

Martial law is colloquially understood as when the military, and not the judicial system, acts as the supreme power and armed forces control all aspects of government. In instances of martial law, the military takes over the police powers of a local government. The military would have command of civilian governments.

A writ of habeas corpus is used to bring a prisoner to court to determine if the person's imprisonment or detention is lawful, according to according to Cornell Law School's Legal Information Institute. Habeas corpus petitions via video conferencing have been used by the detainees at Guantanamo Bay for over a decade, according to Michel Paradis, military and constitutional law professor at Columbia University.

Only if it keeps Trump in power

CNBC spreading Panic Fear, disgraceful CNBC you have sunk so low. CNBC is no longer a viable news outlet, shame on you CNBC.

We are already there. Trump is afraid.

the why is this is America, we have the second amendment, and we have guns. This is not North Korea, Cuba or Venezuela where the dictator's can hold sway over the population.

Why are spreading BS. Shameless and time to grow up

Slow news day huh?

Think you this video has been very helpful. But, I still wonder if the martial law might be used in the future now that covid is on the rise again.

No, covid won’t lead to martial law. but what happens when the next virus is even more contagious and kills quicker.

Thump want this so he can push the election

What a silly post. It’s like “Will the Coronavirus Lead to People Turning into Lemons? Experts don’t think so, and here’s why.”

KKK fear martial law? They promised the soldiers would loot and pilleg openly!

Fear mongering

It's not martial law. Its Public Health Precautions. American Samoa did 14 day quarantines, closed borders & Flights, limited gatherings, and locked down after 6pm. And they have 0 cases, BC of it. They did all this with 0 infections. You'd think States that have ppl dying, would

drama much?

Until the civil war starts!

What are you smoking?

This is so April 2020. Why are you still amplifying it?

Had HRC been Potus, for sure there would been some form of it and if Joe gets in, he'll take his cue from the lady in Michigan. Better have a lot of supplies at home.

It won’t be the coronavirus. You know who will be the cause of it. Those morons out there burring and looting.

No

No, bvecause you need to have the Martians land first on earth to impose their law dummies!

The shit these guys spew

Knowing Trump who is friends with putin ... he would declare it just to extend his term.

This fear-mongering is dangerous. There are a lot of people who would not let's just say 'comply'.

Fear porn

No,

Covid a cover up to communism Dems are in be careful

I love how they have a picture of Marshalls store in the background. LOL

Fed Martial Law requires Congressional approval. I would hope that they would not allow it, but that hope is seriously dimmed by what we saw/heard by Congress during the Impeachment 😩

Martial Law is exactly what dictators like Trump hope for. And he will use any convenient reason to turn the military on the people. Pandemic, Black Lives Matter protests, calling elections corrupt, calling news fake, getting caught lying about EVERYTHING.

I have a friend in the Defense department and he was saying martial law is coming. The National Guard will be sent to all food stores and people will be locked in their homes for two years.

If we can't get idiots to follow basic rules like WEARING A FUCKING MASK or limiting social interactions and group size, then yeah, probably. If idiots want to act like spoiled entitled children then they obviously need to be treated like such.

It’s hilarious anyone thinks we’re anywhere close to martial law in our handling of COVID-19. We’re taking it so unseriously. It’s basically just a joke to our leaders.

How about coronavirus crisis being an excuse for the said martial law.

But how will we ever prove once and for all that TRUMP IS ACTUALLY HITLER?!?!?!?!

You can’t do anything but protest anymore

How about Marshall law to Autonomous Zones? Or the Statue topplers? Or to find the sub humans who beat people into vegetative states with skateboards ?

'experts'

What in the actual hell is this headline and article? cnbc continues to show their transparency in their agenda. Wow.

Yes

Anyone that is a student of medevil history would say yes it is possible. So many actions being taken today parallel what happened between the 13th and 16th century to deal with the plaque, which BTW has never been cured and is still around because it is clever and mutates.

Media’s propaganda must stop

We’re already in martial law. We have been for a while. Watch the Executive Orders.

Didn't think about it until I seen this shit on my feed, but not when you have people running out with their 'AR-14s' ready for a gun fight

What “drastic” measures are we taking? 😂

March news, June calendar date.

FOLLOW ME FOR THE TRUTH CAUSE IT NEEDS TO BE SAID...

If the news keeps saying it, yes.

Martial law, really doom and gloom. Need some new blood on the air.

NO ! but trump is wishing to do this. only way he gets his absolute power !

Because the military would not enforce it.

Here's why.

Fake news

We have a billion privately owned guns. Good luck with that.

Of course! An entire 0.03% of the population has died, we need to change everything!

Wake up America ! The Dems are pushing for N.W.O

bashycrypto FakeNews COVID19 is a plandemic.

Maybe but it wouldn’t last very long.

Its called the 2nd Amendment.

No, because you bastards never got the 270 million guns...so stick it.

Figures CNBC fear mongering, they are the sky is falling channel

Last I checked, I don't want or need the gov't telling me what I can and can't do to stay healthy. I pay a lot for health insurance for a reason.

This is the dumbest thread of the day.

Nobody except the MSM is asking this 🙄

Premature judgment call - can easily happen

Hardly just need to get this virus under control two more weeks won’t killyou☠️☠️☠️☠️

Lol it already has. Try going out and doing whatever you want in NYC amongst other places.

Slow day tweeting same bs over and over

This time around no Martial Law but will come eventually in USA

SkyMilitia307 dahboo7 NULOOKREFINISH amtvmedia

Ask Gallup New Mexico. I would say their answer is yes it can!

God help us if so...

The fact that this question is being asked is insane. Make at risk people stay at home and open the economy before we enter the worst economic Depression we'll ever have to face again. Enough is enough.

Never happen unless you want to start a civil war.

When cuomo comes south with his bullshit he gonna see things are different

No it’s not that difficult to stay home unless you are a die hard Trumper👹👹👹

'The Chosen One' wants to play God - he has it wants war - he has it wants National Security - he has it wants to shut down the Government - he has it Just one - CORONA VIRUS - squashes the IDIOT flat

Vote Trump to avoid it 💪💪💪. Follow me if u support the President 💪💪💪

No way the people of this country will revolt

Because most Americans can’t spell it?

shourya3551

I was one of those experts consulted. I know nothing about this subject matter though.

And not as long as I can hold a rifle and draw breath

Don’t kid yourself. If that happens it will be the Left’s doing. Trump’s the one emphasizing back to normal. It’s the leftist governors who have been moving steadily in that direction.

Here's why: Most Americans are weak and have no problem taking ridiculous / overblown orders.

Already here. They just do not call it that.

Is coronavirus dangerous? Experts don't think so. Said them in January.

Marchal Law is not effective for infection diseases. Was and can be necessary call the Nacional Guard to help with guidelines and a strong discipline. This is a Caos where Marchal Law can not resolve.

if Trump does it will be followed by the cancellation of elections, disbanding the congress and senate and then he will come for your guns.

This is the goal of the liberals

Thus is a waste of time story, WTF?

Certainly will sell a lot of guns and ammo

We need martial law not because civic-19, but because of DNC-19

EndGameWW3 Probably not this time around. But next winter. Prepare NOW!

We already are under martial law. They are calling it sheltering.

Hey stupid, we are under Martial Law already.

More porn fake news fear..these people are sick

Martial -law is not the solution.

Medical Martial Law

Back. To. Work!

Because citizens have carbine rifles too! 🤣

It already has.
