Senate Protest and Analysis Thread

[The Dowager Mod]

I urge both of my senators to vote against Senator Wixteds amendment(s) to the voting system reform bill.
By trying to lessen the number of ordinary citicenzes
and increasing the number of bureaucrats the proposed commision will lose most if not all credibility.

Is there even a PPT anymore?

[The Dowager Mod]

Yeah I'm here. I, constitutionally, can't do anything, though, unless Emsworth is away so my position is nearly useless. Emsworth has the overall authority to control the bill debates, decide which amendments to dispose of, and when to start votes. I only do it very rarely and when it is needed.

On the contrary, you are perfectly at liberty to act whenever you please. The Senate rules allow it.

Oh good. I thought the Constitution limited me to a purely secondary role.

Nope.  In fact, the OSPR really gives you primary control over internal Senate affairs. 

That's why i was wondering.

For these reasons, I would fully support Senator TexasGurl's plan to reduce defense funding. A great bulk of defense spending is pork; I fear that the suggested reduction of 10% may not go far enough.

Cuts of that scale are born-out of isolationist dogma. $95bn (10% plus that cut from the legislation she sought to repeal). Might as well just add it to the welfare pot because it's going to need it. I can'tsee  Atlasia being better off from either a defense/national security standpoint or a socio-economic standpoint

For a progressive Senator, to propose cuts which could potentially generate a higher level of unemployment and worse still destroy communities, just dismays me unutterably

'Hawk'

Furthermore, why are all of Senator Texasgurl's proposed cuts coming out of the military budget? I find this...targeting...of one particular department to be a bit suspicious in all honesty.

Why not just have the balls to ask me instead of speculating.

[The Dowager Mod]

Because it is the only department left that hasn't been cut.

[The Dowager Mod]

We need at the very least a 5% cut in defense spending, Which would be fairly easy if the military quit spending 500 bux for toilet seats.

[The Dowager Mod]

Seeing some of the patently ridiculous legislation in the queu yet no jury reform bill makes me wonder.

[The Dowager Mod]

I voted first so who did i copy?
