I found this little bit of info on

http://omnibusting.heritage.org/2007...-law-declared/

they declare Martial law to force a vote. the following is from when it was done in the past, by the Republicans

the rules of this House mandate that Members be given a minimum of 3 days to review legislation. That is a rule of the House. Yet the Republican leadership frequently resorts to the use of martial law to push through legislation by requiring a same-day vote.
