What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorAllies of President Trump are now openly discussing martial law, according to Axios, and the conversation is happening in public rather than behind closed doors.

  2. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe details matter here.

  3. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorTalking about it is not the same as a plan, and the story does not say anyone in the White House has proposed one.

  4. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorBut constitutional scholars tend to notice when the phrase stops sounding like a hypothetical.

  5. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorMartial law means the military takes over civilian functions. In this country, that is a very big step.

  6. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorWhich is why a lot of people will want clear answers today, from every side.
