How is the Lockdown different from Martial Law? Fair question: With the lockdown we have had our civil rights suspended. We have been effectively under house arrest  or other restrictions and we have lost our ability in some states and cities to travel freely. There have been fines and arrests of peaceful protestors such as small business owners  running their businesses in defiance of lockdown orders. There have been officials overstepping their constitutionally granted powers based on their personal schemes. Valid elections have been suspended. Major media outlets have been controlled and smaller rebel media have been de-platformed, de-monetized and censored. People talk like having martial law is a big step, but it looks to me like perhaps we are already there.  So I ask an honest question to the experts:   How is what we have been living through any different from martial law?
