Martial Law Declared By Democrat In Congress Ratcheting Up Argument Over Federal Shutdown

Ratcheting up argument over federal shutdown

WND

A Democratic congresswoman from Texas has declared “martial law” is the solution to the current partial shutdown of the federal government.

The comments from Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas, took some listeners by surprise, since a common understanding of “martial law” would be of an authority – a president or a military commander – using military force to impose its will on an uncooperative people.

Think tanks, machine guns and jail cells.

It came up during Lee’s speech on the House floor on Monday, when she was lamenting those plight of those left with uncertain futures because of the partial federal government shutdown brought on when Senate Democrats refused to consider compromises to a budget plan offered by House Republicans.

She said, “Our economy is bigger than the European Union. That means countries like Spain, Germany, France, England, all those members who as well are our allies, but look to America – how shameful it is for someone to be held, and if you will, tied up by their own individual personal interests.

“One would ask if the Founding Fathers, as imperfect as America was as she began, had come from the 13 colonies and various districts, and probably interests, and had held to those specialized interests, would we have created a nation that started out by saying we organize to create a more perfect union? Albeit that there were groups of populations that did not have dignity and justice and citizenship at that time, something that I could look back at in bitterness, but I do not, because this is the greatest nation in the world. But we are not showing ourselves that way.

“It is not the truth to suggest that there are not enough voters, members of Congress, that would vote right now today to open this government. It is something called a continuing resolution, but it’s a bill that you put on the floor that has been passed already by Republicans and Democrats in the United States Senate. ”

      This casual mention of Marshall Law is a prePlanned mantra of attack on ” We The People” in a Fascist pretense, to take full control in a Dictorial move to circumvent the Constitutional form of government , which is the House and the Senate,and without any guilt , yell out to Americans and the World, ” See we now can get things done, without all that extortion , fighting, and the future is ours, to bring the change we all promised you.
      If anyone falls for this BS you will be supporting a dictatorship, without the Constitution , without liberty, and Obama will keep control without ever having another election.
      IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?? DON’T TAKE JACKSON’S SLIP OF THE TONGUE AS INNOCENT, IT ISN’T BY FAR!!!
