Folks need to keep an eye on what other socialists are saying. If.. IF another Congressman/ Senator invokes “martial law” during their floor tantrum then Lee’s comment is not an accident and we have trouble coming. Stay vigilant but please don’t panic over this you know they always do or say things in the hopes of starting real trouble. Let’s NOT give them what they want!
If Sheila Jackson Lee has the balls to say this then she may know something we don’t and this is just the beginning. No one in Congress has ever suggested let alone used those words, martial law, up until now. Either she is out of her mind, which is highly plausible and most likely here, or she just let the cat out of the bag!
The Martial Law Rule parliamentary procedure is used by Congress to force a vote by dispensing with a longstanding House rule (Rule XIII(6a)) intended to give U.S. Representatives and the public enough time to understand significant legislation.

I REALLY hope she is just going off her rocker....I guess we should all pay attention to what others are saying when speaking out.

"We have Martial Law, what that means, and my colleagues knows what "it" means. Is that you can put a bill on in just minutes"!

You really should amend your OP with what she is actually talking about. Most members here will probably catch it immediately, but some won't.
This has nothing to do with what some will think she is referring to. I'm no fan of this crazy woman, but she is not suggesting putting the National Guard on the streets. It's just a procedural thing.
