I repeat: Civil war would have broken out.

Dire suspension of Constitutional protections happens during War:
Abraham Lincoln ordered thousands of people detained without hearings,
and opposition newspapers shut down during the Civil War. During
World War II: the president orders Japanese and such to be held in
internment camps.
So why do we have all these loss of freedoms during peacetime?
Answer:
Because the Military has never stopped fighting World War II.
# "Spy Agencies Faulted for War Focus"
# By Tim Wiener, The New York Times, June 28, 1996
#
# American intelligence agencies devote too much time and money to supporting
# the Military, and FAR too little to understanding the problems of peace, a
# new and authoritative critique concludes.
#
# The report is one of FOUR MAJOR STUDIES to cite the "alarming imbalance"
# of spending more than $26 billion a year on machines, and less than $3
# billion on people, and those people spend their time analyzing the
# information the machines collect.
#
# The Foreign Service has been crippled by budget cuts, sapped by the
# Militarization of intelligence. Diplomats, not spies, should be doing
# analysis of events in peaceful places.
#
# The report, by 19 people from the worlds of espionage, diplomacy, the
# Military, academia and business, says American intelligence "still has
# not yet come in from the cold" and is "ill-prepared for the 21st Century."
The Cold War meant that not only were the government's SIGINT operations
