In Reply to: No Constitutional Authority for Perpetual Martial Law posted by Ronny Holmes on September 11, 1998 at 20:18:05:

Some say that the States were not lawful States under the law of nations.

Most people only have a religious belief that an old past-tense constitution is still law.
Executive orders are constitution (under roman based law) but not to those who assume the We the People constitution is implied.
