    i think not.

    Jar Jar didn't represent her very well- she went to the senate to vote against an army, not the authority to use one.

    I think you just answered your own question. No, she wouldn't give him emergency powers.

    ^ Agreed - that's why Palpidious wanted her assassinated or at least back on Naboo, i.e. out of his way.

    Never. Palpy manipulated the stupidest mind in the Senate to get his power.

    She couldn't be manipulated, that is why Palps allows Dooku to place a hit out on her by way of Jango, who subcontracted Zam to do it.

    I wouldn?t go that far. She?s certainly not as easily manipulated as some. Palpatine manipulated the heck out of her (and everyone else too) in TPM to be elected chancellor.

    Very unlikely.

    Its not that simple really. We wouldn't know whether Padme would not go along with it, especially when she replies Anakin "no, aggressive negotiations". The Republic's well being was at stake very clearly with the TF attack on Kenobi. Palpatine has made it almost impossible to not call for the Army. Jar Jar did what he thought was right, regardless whether he's weak minded or not.
