Rep Power: 10 | | | That is bizarre - completely bizarre - Apparently Brad Sherman (represents a neighboring district and not a loon) was privy to congressmen being threatened with marshall law.
Bush is a fucking menace. This is amazing.

( since it's gonna happen any second now ) | I am freaked to think that the resident is throwing about the need for martial law if the congress didn't pass the bailout. I didn't think that sort of threat was what democracy was about.
I am freaked that bush got rid of laws prohibiting martial law training on US soil. I am freaked by this: Quote:
President Bush's post-terror attack martial law plan is so shocking that even sitting members of Congress and Homeland Security officials are barred from viewing it
<snip>
Congressman Peter DeFazio (D - OR) was asked by his constituents to see what was contained within the classified portion of the White House's plan for operating the government after a terrorist attack.
Since DeFazio also sits on the Homeland Security Committee and has clearance to view classified material, the request would have appeared to be routine, but the Congressman was unceremoniously denied all access to view the documents, and the White House wouldn't even give an excuse as to why he was barred.
| Bush is a fucking menace.
I am freaked that we are being brainwashed into thinking that *any* of this crap is necessary. A couple of hacks flew an airplane into a building. And now we have to live in perpetual fear, and damn the torpedos and the collateral damage.
