This is a Congressional procedure and it has happened before.
July 28, 2006
"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.

Here is the current "martial law" resolution applied through Sept.
29:
http://rules-republicans. house. gov/ShortTopics/Read. aspx?id=220
To report the martial law rule waiving a requirement of Clause 6(a) of Rule XIII with respect to consideration of any resolution reported from the Rules Committee, through the legislative day of September 29, 2008. It does not apply to any specific measure, but rather grants blanket authority.
False alarm.
