‘Martial law’ to fast track spending bill invoked as Congress scurries to avoid another government shutdown

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.
A temporary government spending bill is expected to clear the House and Senate just before a midnight deadline on Wednesday, averting a government shutdown and providing funding until December 11. As a precaution, House lawmakers have invoked “martial law.”
The use of martial law fast-tracks a spending bill by bypassing typical procedures. One of those procedures is that the House of Representatives has to wait a day after the Rules Committee produces rules for a floor debate before a vote on the bill can occur, according to the Hill. By invoking martial law, House lawmakers can vote on the short-term government spending measure on the same day.

Any reason will do for Martial Law. It is almost like all this stuff was planned.
