> or public danger;

Whether or not we're in a time of public danger is definitely up for debate, but you can't just leave off the second condition in an or statement and pretend it doesn't exist when trying to claim the statement is false.

Yea I’m on mobile so didn’t want to deal with full quote, it I assumed public danger meant like martial law. Do you know of any precedent on that part?
No clue, I assumed it was fairly general, but could be wrong. Googled it quickly just now and I didn't find an answer.

Incidentally I did find an answer to your previous question (about who the clause applies to), pasted it above.
