There's no need to use existing laws when you can invent new ones. Under the process of Gleischaltung, many new laws were passed in a five-month window that didn't have any historical precedent including:
* Disbarring every lawyer and judge
* Requiring that all new bar exams could only be attended by NSDAP members of over two years who possessed certificates of "ancestral hygiene"
* Arresting every state governor (turns out the Weimar Republic was also a federal republic) and replacing them with NSDAP officials
* Reconstituting the party seat allocations of every state legislature to match the party seat allocations of the federal legislature

They haven’t had time to purge the entire military leadership yet, just the ones at the top. If they want to act soon, they need it to look at least kinda legal. Again, idk where this is going, it’s way up in the air as far as I’m concerned, I am just looking at what I see happening, and I see a request for reports on whether it’s appropriate to invoke the insurrection act, and I look at why he might want that now, and I see the promised mass deportations and what he’s done with trying to extort Adams into enforcing immigration law in NYC, and this is what I come up with. I think he wants it for bodies to help carry out deportations, and to at least threaten cities with soldiers on the streets to get them to do it some of the work for him. Beyond that? God, who knows.
