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.

Thank you for making the distinction between "Martial Law" and "Marshall Law".
Where can we read this "bill" It was to be put online after 12:00 p.m. today? Nancy |

That is not necessarily going to happen now. Please don't panic folk - I can't find anything in Reuters et al, so have a cup of camomile tea or a cool natural lemonade and chill out. Even if Santa Claus arrives and says 'hey - it's really me' I reckon you're so hyped you may even believe it! However - even if the worst happens - don't worry - keep your head down, just do everyday things and quietly sort yourselves out. God bless x

that's what I thought, but I guess they use it on a scaled down version to push a sameday vote on legislation. I guess this is handy when you know that the votes against are not present

It's being said that the bill has been changed so that the American citizens will not be liable to pay for the bailout. So where else will the money come from? Guess we'll have to pull up the bill and read it ourselves...

Pelosi has also imposed the Congressional equivalent of martial law, invoking emergency rules and procedures that will allow the bill to go to the Rules Committee, get a rule, and bring the bill to the floor all on the same day.
