A big part of me believes that martial law couldn't/wouldn't happen. There's just no reason for it.

And let's say the govt did just for some random reason (like the president getting assassinated).. there are just way too many people that wouldn't tolerate it. One would think, anyway.

Another part of me thinks they could get away with it just because most people (and I do mean most people) are stupid, ignorant, and extremely gullible. They are indifferent to anything that happens as long as it doesn't interfere with their personal lives and drone-like routine existence. That's exactly why things like the Patriot Act get passed to begin with. People are too concerned with smokescreens (what Britney Spears is eating, for example) to pay attention to the things that matter.

200 years ago it'd be a different story, because most people actually cared, but nowadays most people DON'T, which is kinda why the govt gets away with what they do. People don't pay attention to details and elect the wrong people.

But I guess the main point is: there'd be no real reason for martial law when the president gets assassinated.
