Which isn't feasible? A totalitarian crack down? During the Civil War,
laws were passed that allowed the President to declarea national state of
emergency, placing the country under martial law and suspending the
Constitution, so long as he notified congress as soon as possible. Among
the things that would be interfeered with is the right to a jury trial and
a lawyer. It would be a simple matter of arresting those congressmen and
govenors who would disagree, on charges of treason, throw them beofre a
tribunal and have them executed within days. And at that point, no one who
would arguee the nessessity of the declaration of emergency will be left in
the government.
There have been some "interesting" (lets be honest- they scare the crap
out of people) exercises done at the Pentagon. They figure that seize
effective control of the country, so long as the grunts don't rebel,
withing ten days, but it would take years to get resistors out of the
pictures, if ever.
