There is no way that he could use the perpetual war on terror to grant himself wartime powers, even though this is not a terrorist act? I wouldn't be surprised to see him try it.

I am going to say that I think he will just be trying to scare the people into wanting this to pass. I don't think martial law will be triggered and I don't think he will try to bypass congress. I expect this to be a good verbal lashing, to give us something to think about while they take their vacation. The markets will tank again today and he is hoping that by the time they vote on this again, the people will be begging for them to pass it.
