To answer the question in the original post, it is essential to know what "event" precipitated the Bush's implementation of martial law.

You asked what would happen if Bush declared martial law. The answer to this question depends almost entirely on the reason why martial law was declared.

Let's take one scenario. Bush just woke up one day and decided, "Hey, I want to be a dictator and a ham sandwich would be good right about now." He then declares martial law and has lunch. Now, this would really piss me off and I would be definately protest it.

Let's take another scenario. Terrorists managed to detonate three atomic "suitcase" bombs in New York, Washington DC, and Chicago. The cities were compeltely leveled. 17 Million people evaporated in the initial blast. 45 million people will die in the next few weeks due to radiation sickness. Now if Bush declared martial law under these circumstances, I would be either already dead, dying, or a hell of a lot more concerned about the event triggering martial law than "Mah Rights."
