Quote:I'd also point out that -- as far as we know -- he's nowhere near as close to actually doing it as Nixon got;An addendum: my personal opinion is that the Bush-Martial Law scenario won't come to be, because Bush is obsessed with the "legacy" he wants to leave. As a number of former White House insiders have reported, Bush wants to be remembered as one of the "great" presidents, and this has driven a lot of his policies and actions. The whole Iraq mess is because he want(s/ed) to be remembered for being the one to finally "fix" the Mideast permanently. He won't declare martial law over anything short of a national-scale disaster because it would cement his position in history somewhere far, far south of where he's certain it's supposed to be.
