"The day we stop believing in democracy is the day we lose it." -Queen Jamilla Isn't that Queen Amidalla? [scratching head]
I would submit that the *temporary* imposition of martial law in a region of the country where there is no alternative... that is... the local government has been destroyed and the only alternative is lawlessness and looting by thugs... then it is NOT the case that democracy has been abandoned, and it would not follow that we "have stopped believing in democracy".
Quite the opposite. Democracy demands that order be maintained, does it not? Even if the government is dead?

Does Queen Jamilla have her own line of syrup?

This is NOT a democracy. It is a Constitutional Republic-that's why the judges can tell us all what to do!
