The Insurrection Act... grants the President the authority to deploy the U.S. military domestically and use it against Americans under certain conditions.
He has issued a blanket threat to his opponents: If you go after me, I am coming after you.
It's an abuse of the public interest for private gain that is very like the pattern in the White House.
What he has done is reprehensible, unlawful, an insult to the Constitution, and an insult to the idea of America.
