Its hard to take such concerns seriously. Although I will say this is the first time I have thought there was even a remote chance. But it will be done by starting a war, and using that to justify it.
Homeland Security and the TSA, along with the greatly expanded NSA, is de facto martial law. All given "justification" by 9/11.

He is Trump's Big Stick for going to the conference with North Korea
I recall Bolton of the Bush era.. as UN embassador.. and after 2 years got booted... Actually I wonder if he will get passed the vetting by Congress total over the position of NSA~ Below are 5 main facts about Bolton that's well known by anyone alive back then or took note of world leaderships back in the day!! Know I recall it all!!~~

https://heavy.com/news/2016/11/john-...-deal-bio-age/

Snip of the list without commentary~~
Here’s what you need to know about Bolton:

1. Bolton Served in the George W. Bush Administration
2. Bolton Has Criticized the United Nations
3. Bolton Was a Strong Supporter of the Iraq War
4. Bolton Opposes the U.S.-Led Nuclear Deal With Iran
5. Bolton Graduated From Yale

There is descriptions and facts associated with each point IF one cares to read them! In my mind, he made "Hawks" in general look like weak single winged birds back in the day! Course, Cheney sure did push Bolton's agenda.. and yep Halliburton ( Cheney's Company sure did profit from the WAR!!)

I think we all--liberals, conservatives, libertarians--can agree that John Bolton is one of the most evil men on the planet.

He's like a cartoon villain, in a warfare video game. And now, this joker will be the National Security Adviser?

Wow, Bolton worked for the Goldwater campaign, for Nixon, Reagan, and both Bushes and not a single Democrat, but to the looney right, he is a "leftist."

To these wingnuts, I say claim your own. Bolton Is your man. He is your Frankenstein.

And who was in charge then? Bush.

See thats my point. We can quibble about justification for all of this as another poster wants (I suspect by your martial law comment me and you agree on the expansion of powers on this), but the bottom line here is the Republicans have been the warhawks lately.

And Bolton? My god, the man has been saying a first nuclear strike is a good idea with north korea!

NO OnE with a brain is fond of this guy having any influence. Right OR left.
