Furthermore, this country has a longstanding and foundational tradition of resistance to
government overreach, especially in the form of military intrusion into civil affairs. "That
tradition has deep roots in our history and found early expression, for example, in... the
constitutional provisions for civilian control of the military." Laird v. Tatum, 408 U.S. 1, 15
(1972); see also James Madison, Address to the Constitutional Convention (1787), reprinted in 1
Records of the Federal Convention of 1787, at 465 (Max Farrand ed., 1911) ("A standing
military force, with an overgrown Executive will not long be safe companions to liberty. The
means of defence [against] foreign danger, have been always the instruments of tyranny at
home."). This historical tradition boils down to a simple proposition: this is a nation of
Constitutional law, not martial law. Defendants have made a range of arguments that, if
accepted, risk blurring the line between civil and military federal power to the detriment of this
nation.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6ubw622ecoiwoihngsxrsx6n/bafkreib7mfj6lhwcqw6l7kzr62mrbafgxozyblkwruzosvupayvngdnzc4@jpeg)
