BREAKING: The House has invoked martial law. If the Senate passes skinny repeal, the House can vote on it without notice.

1. Is this an actual thing? I never heard of this before.

2. I think it just means a change in voting procedure

3. I guess they did the same thing in 2015

The use of martial law refers to bypassing the typical procedure that requires the House to wait a day after the Rules Committee produces a rule establishing floor debate parameters before voting.

4. Update

4 GOP Senators just went in TV and said they would bote No on the bill if the House didn't pledge to a full conference committee. Graham said just passing this bill was a "disaster."
