Obama's swine flu 'emergency'
Was Obama wise to declare H1N1 a national emergency -- or is he just "covering his behind"?

The White House is calling it a formality. For unconvinced right wing bloggers, its the first step in enacting martial law. Obamas decision to declare the swine-flu outbreak a national emergency -- a move designed to expedite disaster plans should hospitals get overwhelmed -- has provoked feverish debate. Was the presidents declaration really necessary?

This isnt just a formality: "The stakes just got raised with this proclamation," says James G. Hodge Jr., a health law and ethics professor at Arizona State University, quoted in The Washington Post. "Broader powers of the federal government are now authorized to respond to the emerging outbreak."
