Congress told face martial law if bailout bill not passed

Thousands of Troops Are Deployed on U.S. Streets Ready to "Carry Out "Crowd Control

Members of Congress were told they could face martial law if they didn't pass the bailout bill. This will not be the last time.
U.S. Rep. Brad Sherman of California said to Congress, captured on C-Span and viewable on YouTube, that individual members of the House were threatened with martial law within a week if they did not pass the bailout bill:


"The only way they can pass this bill is by creating and sustaining a panic atmosphere. … Many of us were told in private conversations that if we voted against this bill on Monday that the sky would fall, the market would drop two or three thousand points the first day and a couple of thousand on the second day, and a few members were even told that there would be martial law in America if we voted no."
