The Threat of Martial Law

The Threat of Martial Law

Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA) makes a claim in this video on the floor of the House that is absolutely shocking--and makes me think that the time may be coming when we're going to have to take our government back. He says that the pressure put on members of the House to pass the bailout included the claim that martial law would have to be imposed if the bailout bill didn't pass.

Note: Rep. Sherman is a Democrat! Who was putting on this pressure? Who was telling him that martial law might have to be imposed? I think it is important for him to say who said this. Either Sherman is making this up, or there are some incredibly scary and dangerous people running Congress. (Yes, I've seen Nancy Pelosi's eyebrows. They qualify as incredibly scary.) We are fast approaching the point where it may be time for the people to draw up a new Constitution.

UPDATE: Here's an interview where Sherman says that this panic talk about martial law was from other members of the House--more like "this could happen" not a threat.
