I get what it entails...go all the way, insurrection act, martial law, go fucking medieval. But where does the expression come from?

A Roman general was not allowed to keep a standing army within Rome, or all if southern Italy, not 100%. So when Julius Cesar crossed the Rubicon river it was considered a declaration of war.
Look it up, you will learn a shit ton
Then we can all be as smart as you..
There is far more to it than can be explained here. http://www.eyewitnesstohistory.com/caesar.htm
If I remember right, it was when Caesar crossed the Rubicon river and became Legend against the bearacrats. The circumstances surrounding Caesar at that time very closely resemble what Trump is going through.
Hopefully, somebody can explain more.
It’s a reference to Julius Cesar bringing his army past the rubicon river which was prohibited by Roman law.
He said “the die is cast!” As he broke the law.
The citizens sided with Cesar.
Julias Ceasar crossed the rubicon river to kick off a war in some similar historical scenario.
When Caesar first moved against Rome he took his army from Gaul and headed south. The Rubicon River is a river in Northern Italy and it was seen as the boundary line between Italy and the rest of Europe. It was illegal for a Roman standing army to March into Italy. So, when Caesar marched his Army to Rome, it was seen as an open act of war when he “crossed the Rubicon;” this was seen as the beginning of the Civil War.
Julius Caesar breaking a direct order from Rome to not bring his army across the river Rubicon.
