I do not think most states would alow a national Martial Law to take place.
If they ever tried, then the Feds would be in deep S**t.

I do hope you are right, that states can simply pass a bill and then be able to govern themselves without having to be babysat by the Federal Government.
If you remember though, places in California have actually been ATTACKED by federal agencies (ATF) for allowing marijuana dispensaries even though the people of California voted them to be legal... I do not understand why the state allowed this without more of a fight. Federal Government LOVES being able to come in and police the states as they wish.
Do you really think they would give up such control?
Honestly, not arguing, just disagreeing that those in power would easily give up their control over everything that happens in every state.
In an ideal country, the voters can decide how things are run and what is legal or not.
In this country in current form, Federal agencies can come marching into any state and attack any people/person/company/dispensary, etc, for any reason they want!
The attacks on California establishments and WACO illustrate this quite well for me.
They love it.

Most states probably wouldnt but I can see MA, CT, NY, NJ, and CA folding in an instant if not holding parades to welcome their new Lords.
As the federales go stomping in those state would have idiots like that woman who shouted about how Obama was going to pay for her gas lining the streets.
This might be off-topic but I thought Denny's little free breakfast stunt yesterday was a good indication of how willingly compliant people will be to martial law. Promise them some free pancakes and they'll line up all night in the cold and rain like communists in a bread line for them.
Free pancakes. Just step into the showers first and they'll be waiting for you on the other side.

I don't know if anyone else thought of this possibility.
What if all of this is being passed to get attention, get us all revved up and excited, then to just pull it all away again?
What if those in power are TRYING to start another civil war?
Just a possibility that this is yet another manipulation. You know that those in power get rich when weapons and death are concerned. The Military Industrial Complex, and all.
