But first you have to have months of. "Something big is gonna happen!" Then all those wanting to go to jail will self choose and head for the ellipse.

That's a very different scenario than convincing actual military officers - in Seal Team 6 and above them all the way up the chain of command - to commit hardcore premeditated felonies. Not a bunch of idiots getting swept up in the moment.

Oh, I grant you that, but you can have an unsilly scenario, one where there's a short chain of command, and people wobbling on what they are being requested to do. Not every guard rail is going to hold up, but I think sufficient will. We'll have another vote, and this will go back and forth for some time. Let's just hope we don't have bad luck. I already think a sufficiently illegal request or order takes the action out of being an official act. We do have the example of disorganized Katzenjammer Kids out playing revolutionary, and some for real. The Governor in Michigan's kidnapping plotters. We've been lucky so far, plots foiled, nutters jailed, etc., but Trump is likely going to win. This is a bad hand to play out, but it's all we have.
