People said this about Bush. Same with Clinton. AND with Obama.
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.
No Bolton wrote a big opinion piece about how Trump already has the power to make a strike against N Korea simply because N Korea HAS weapons of mass destruction that means it is an eminent threat to the US
Ergo, Trump doesn't have to get any authorization from Congress --- he already has justification for firing on NKorea..
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!!~~
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!!)
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.
I will remind everyone
This post is NSA-
It is a freeby for Trump---NO advise and consent is required by the Senate
Bolton's name just goes on the door so to speak...

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.
