A what? Max chairs this committee.

http://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=173028.msg3730996#msg3730996

And I thought I was bad after midnight. Tongue

Maxy chairs judiciary

I mean a fill-in chairman as per the Productive committees Resolution, should Ben declare a leave of absence or vanish, said person takes over for him.

I have contacted the Justice committee chair if it's the appropriate committee.    

I answered you on that, but I doubt it's in the Judiciary committee powers anyways, unless it's considered related to regional law enforcement, which I doubt.

Anyways, the committee is busy until next Suday, we already are in the impeachment hearings of the Supreme Court Justices (which weren't my choice).

Is it not a legal matter by nature? As I said, we could possible take over for the Judiciary since we are only minimally engaged at present, provided the members agree of course.

Because it I am assuming that would present us with a better chance of succeeding in the regions this way, then with the original text. I also prefer something like the second half of this, something that is inherently connected to a measure of activity and competence then any kind of arbitrary term limit that will dump a good justice, keep bad one based on an independent consideration and worse, potentially inject political considerations into the court. For a justice booted will then be incentivized to make political calculations for future office as there terms draw to a close.

We have freedom of speech in this country, but a major role is played by media in the matter of stigmatization. We need to tread carefulyl thus.

I think one concrete thng we can do is seek to make changes within the field itself to explore and change anything that contributes to thep roblem like what the one article mentiond about how the placing of blame exlcusively on the family by the professionals in the field, actually served to make the problem of stigma worse.

Might as well put these up, though I didn't have time to review them all in depth, unfortunately.

I think the Judiciary is the responsible committee, thought the GOR could possibly step in since they are occupied at the moment.

Labor has suffered worse attacks than mine. Actually, endorsing hard right candidates is an issue that should worry people with common sense in the right. Don't be a winger Wink

Has it been mentioned that Pingvin is literally a neo-nazi who punches women in the face? If not, that should be mentioned.

Anyway, yes, obviously THE IMPERIAL METALLICA EMPEROR OF THE DARK SOUTH thing is tacky and tired but whatever.

I thought you were dead. You gonna go for a third time in two months?

When that bill is introduced, do you desire that for the FP slot?
16  Atlas Fantasy Elections / Atlas Fantasy Government / Re: SENATE STANDING COMMITTEE: Judiciary (JUSTICES' IMPEACHMENT HEARING) on: May 21, 2013, 05:14:08 pm
I must say that it gave me great comfort when every step of the way in my research to find that the precedents, laws etc that I used to base my arguments in the NC Yankee case in some ways almost always involved Ebowed in some way (want to count the number of times his name appeared in the brief?). Wink Many also involved the other two justices as well. I wouldn't consider that comfort resulting from bias, but from knowledge of the subject matter. Though at one point I wondered what the grounds for recussal were and whether or not Ebowed might have to do so, since I am not experienced in these things.

Quote from: Amendment 55:05 by NC Yankee
The On Second Thought, We Do Have Expectations Amendment

If the President, Vice President, or a member of the Senate does not post on the Atlas Fantasy Government board for seven consecutive days (168 hours) without posting a leave of absence shall forfeit his or her office an article of impeachment shall be automatically placed before Senate in accordance with Article I, Section 2, Clause 3 of the Constitution and thus considered accordingly.

Final vote tomorrow evening? That is when the minimum debate time ends.

This is a free discussion. I jsut direct toward the one who didn't respond last to try and get feedback from both.

The issue is that the bill in question banned the use of proxies and cell phones. The problem is that it is unenforceable and technically ill informed because it makes no exceptions for AOL users (which are by definition a proxy) and many people have used cell phones to vote since then. Also the MG is no longer enforcing the law at all and hasn't been for months.

The probem with the politics of the region is not the book's cover but the content. The fact that it is constantly being subjected to pointless bs like the exchange being carried out in this thread. If they focused more on getting the best policy and less on establishing a definition for carpetbagger so that it best applies only to their opponents, the situation would not be nearly as bad as it is.

These pdfs are a monster. I am saving them on my computer, but if something were to happen to the machine again, I wouldn't be able to access them. I will try to put them on a flash drive, but this problem is in some way connected to the USB ports, hency why my external modem failed last night.
24  Atlas Fantasy Elections / Atlas Fantasy Government / Re: SENATE BILL: ...Mental Health Reform Act of 2013 (Debating) on: May 20, 2013, 07:29:12 pm
The first one will depend on the extent of which we have electronic medical records and how implemented they are as it pertains to mental health. So can anyone provide me with answers on this matter?
25  Atlas Fantasy Elections / Atlas Fantasy Government / Re: SENATE BILL: ...Mental Health Reform Act of 2013 (Debating) on: May 20, 2013, 07:25:51 pm
You aren't going to find a one magic bullet. You will find this one piece at a time and then have to fit them together like a puzzle to form a comprehensive reform effort, Duke. I have at least five amendments that could be offered based on what I have just posted.

- Child-Adult Transition

- Military Veterans

- Research Funding

- Changes to the Data Collection to improve Quality

- Reducing the lag time between developments and usage.
