From: *Travis* Date: Fri, Mar 20, 2009 Subj "Martial Law" In House of Representatives
http://defendourfreedoms.us/2009/02/27/martial-law-in-house-of-representatives.aspx >From Congressman Burgess's site: http://burgess.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=103976 News *"Martial Law" In House of Representatives* *Washington, Sep 28, 2008 *- Under the martial law procedure, long-standing House rules that require at least one day between the unveiling of significant legislation and the House floor vote on that legislation — so that Members can learn what they are being asked to vote on — are swept away. Instead, under “martial law,” the Leadership can file legislation with tens or hundreds of pages of fine print and move immediately to debate and votes on it, before Members of Congress, the media, or the public have an opportunity to understand fully what provisions have been altered or inserted into the legislation behind closed doors. This is the procedure that the Leadership intends to use to muscle through important bills in the next two days. >From Senator James Inhofe talking about Martial Law on a Tulsa radio station: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PovFa9hVtw Rep. Brad Sherman says Martial Law was threatened; but doesn't confirm in this clip if it was implemented or not. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HaG9d_4zij8 http://rules-republicans.house.gov/ShortTopics/Read.aspx?id=220 >From the Committee on Rules September 27, 2008 *BLANKET MARTIAL LAW RULE THROUGH ** MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 29TH ** Motion offered by: McGovern ** Summary of Motion: To report the martial law rule waiving a requirement of Clause 6(a) of Rule XIII with respect to consideration of any resolution reported from the Rules Committee, through the legislative day of September 29, 2008. It does not apply to any specific measure, but rather grants blanket authority. * *Agreed to by voice vote* ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Martial Law USED AGAIN! http://rules-republicans.house.gov/ShortTopics/Read.aspx?ID=234 the Committee on Rules *February 11, 2009 H.Res. ___ –** Providing for consideration of motions to suspend the rules, and for other purposes* *Managers: Perlmutter / Foxx** * *PROVIDES THAT IT SHALL BE IN ORDER AT ANY TIME THROUGH THE LEGISLATIVE DAY **OF FEBRUARY 13, 2009, FOR THE SPEAKER TO ENTERTAIN MOTIONS THAT THE HOUSE **SUSPEND THE RULES AND THAT H.

The ghost of Hitler would referee. Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor; and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst. Breeds that forget this basic truth have always paid for it with their lives and their freedoms.” --Robert A.
