2. Chances are that he'll only declare martial law after some major terrorist attack.

I don't think most people have any idea of what they would do. Most would probably just try to go to work or school as they normally do. Curfews, checkpoints and such would be sold by the media as for our safety - to prevent the terrorists from striking us again.

Those of us that would try to practice civil disobedience would probably never be heard from again - carted off to prison camps. So most of us would be pissed off, but do nothing about it because who wants to go to prison, right?

In short, life would suck even worse than it does now.

Oh yeah, the DU would probably get shut down too.
