Unlike the Democrats, the GOP are wasting no time.

You mean something disastrous like this?  America has already forgotten about it.

Something disastrous in a location other than the Gulf of Mexico; we have learned from Hurricane Katrina that few Americans actually care about what happens in the Gulf. Remember Bush's delayed response time?
If a similar even were to somehow happen in the Northeast you can bet action would have been taken.

bush responded.  he sent in Blackwater to hold down marshall law and confiscate guns from law abiding citizen's homes.



[edit] exaggeration, as marshall law was never declared.  guns were taken though.

Martial law is the imposition of military rule by military authorities over designated regions on an emergency basis—usually only temporary—when the civilian government or civilian authorities fail to function effectively (e.g., maintain order and security, and provide essential services), when there are extensive riots and protests, or when the disobedience of the law becomes widespread. In most cases, military forces are deployed to quiet the crowds, to secure government buildings of key or sensitive locations, and to maintain order. Generally, military personnel replace civil authorities and perform some or all of their functions. The constitution could be suspended, and in full-scale martial law, the highest ranking military General would take over, or be installed, as the military governor or as head of the government, thus removing all power from the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the federal government.

Marshall Law was an Australian television series, which aired for one season in 2002, starring Lisa McCune and Alison Whyte as lawyers and sisters.

I know what martial law is.  I really fucked the spelling up on that first post though.  a state of emergency was declared which gives some similar authority to the state government.

It's not just the GOP. All American politicians are in Big Daddy Oil's pocket.

It's sick and needs to stop. Unfortunately enough Americans don't give a crap and feel it's all SEP. Something disastrous needs to occur to make the public wake up and GET MAD! Nothing in America changes without fear and anger.

That just feeds the machine, to change the gears one must charge their sigils
