It looks like they are hiding a minimum wage increase in an estate tax repeal that the Senate will reject. But why do they talk about martial law?

3. OK here it is. It would hep if I new how ta spaell.
The House Republican Leadership has announced its intention to have the House vote, before adjourning on Friday or Saturday, on several major pieces of legislation that are not yet available to House members in final form because behind-closed-door negotiations on the proposals are still going on. The Leadership apparently intends to use a process known as "martial law" to allow these bills to be brought to the floor very shortly after negotiations are completed, with the result that Members of the House are likely to have virtually no time to examine and consider the details of the legislation before they will be required to vote on it.
