== add == The existence of martial law depends fundamentally on necessity. It does not supersede the civil autharity, but finding that authority destroyed by insurrection it establishes a martial government to avoid the anarchy which would otherwise be inevitable. The powerlessness of the civil arm of government is therefore a condition precedent to the exercise of military authority. ... It follows that where the courts are open and their process unobstructed the arrest and trial of persons by military authority is unauthorized. https://www.sll.texas.gov/assets/pdf/attorney-general-opinions/1918-1920/opinions-1918-1920.pdf#page=567
