There WAS an insurance policy, the U.S. MILITARY which has the constitutional right to stage a coup if it turns out our government is lousy with corruption and sedition.
There was an insurance policy, just not for YOU, Lisa. Now please shut your fractious piehole.
the U.S. MILITARY which has the constitutional right to stage a coup
you are a liar.
I realize the oath says "all enemies, foreign and domestic" but that's talking about a civil war - its intention is to force officers to fight against their home states if those states secede. An oath is not a "constitutional right"
The proper constitutional remedy if the federal government turns out to be corrupt is a constitutional convention, not a military coup.
The claim is that the military has a constitutional right - that claim is false.
If you want to argue that we need them to stage a coup, that's a different claim, and I don't really have a response to that claim. But the claim previously made, that they have a constitutional right is false.

And this corrupt federal government will stand passively by and allow itself to be taken down by a constitutional convention?
