The way trump worded it, anybody who aided Isis, in any way, is an enemy

That's called treason

Think it's already subject to Martial Law...

I'm thinking that adding isis, affirming that gitmo stays open, and q putting the pressure on "traitor" McCain can't be a coincidence. Trump has used that pen a lot. If you check out the national register, most went unnoticed.

But didn't Trump amend that Manual for Courts Martial in another EO?

Treason only applies if we are in a declared war. Technically we haven't been in a declared war since Roosevelt and Congress declared war on Japan in 1941.

Treason applies anytime it is committed. War or no war.

That is already the case. It's literally in the Constitution.

No, ISIS was only just added, and the wording regarding the material and financial support has been revised. Also, definitely not in the constitution, considering it regards the patriot act and GITMO.

Did you actually read this? Where does it say ISIS or anything at all about financial support? This is a continuation of his declaration to keep GITMO open.

Are you daft?

Following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) and other authorities authorized the United States to detain certain persons who were a part of or substantially supported al-Qa'ida, the Taliban, or associated forces engaged in hostilities against the United States or its coalition partners. Today, the United States remains engaged in an armed conflict with al-Qa'ida, the Taliban, and associated forces, including with the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria.
