Daily Clout: Former National Lawyers Guild President Marjorie Cohn on U.S. Protest and Martial Law 101

Naomi Wolf Interviews Marjorie Cohn; she explains the use of the Insurrection Act in President Trump sending military against American civilians, and the way Posse Comitatus, which used to keep soldiers from ever being use in domestic policing, has been eroded. She describes what the rights of protesters are constitutionally and shows how both militarized and violent policing of First Amendment protected speech, and the symbolism of active duty military being used to manage American citizens -- a move that many military and former military formally protested -- is spiralling the United States toward fascism.
