No, and I ain't gonna waste a half-hour on her. She mentions Representative Sherman > of California told of the martial law threat. I Googled it and found a clip of Sherman's statement. As it turns out, he was reporting the alleged threat second hand, and apparently misunderstood it. The House leadership *did* threaten a legislative procedure known as "martial law" which suspends a provision in the House rules that legislation can't be voted on the same day it's introduced, to enable a bill to be passed immediately. For pete's sake, use a little common sense.
