Anyone hear a clip on Thom Hartmann from a Senator or Rep saying
something about the "coming Martial Law" threat from the finance industry?

1. I caught that too...
I don't know who it was, but the gist was that if the bailout bill did not pass, then we would very likely see martial law. Wish I had more for ya.

5. I think it was from a speech on Friday morning....
Rep. Michael Burgess (R-TX) reports from the floor of the House that the Republicans have been cut out of the process and called unpatriotic for not blindly supporting the fraudulent bailout. He says the only debate has been about what talking points to use on the American people. The most ominous revelation is when he claims the Speaker has declared martial law.

“I have been thrown out of more meetings in this capital in the last 24 hours than I ever thought possible, as a duly elected representative of 825,000 citizens of north Texas.” Said Congressman Burgess.

Burgess asks the Speaker of the House to post the bailout bill on the internet for at least 24 hours instead of passing the largest piece of legislation in US financial history in the “dark of night.”

The most frightening part of Rep. Burgess’ one-minute floor speech is when he says, “Mr. Speaker I understand we are under Martial Law as declared by the speaker last night.”

6. It was probably US Rep. Brad Sherman. Here's a link to his speech on the floor
where he says the same thing:
