I am working on legislation in regards to this problem, if anyone wants to work with me.

I would certainly support a 'Senate Floor' discussion thread as 'Protest and Analysis' doesn't quite cut it.

That way constituents would have the right to discuss legislation 'live' and Senators can then essentially quote their sentiments on the floor along the lines of 'a constituent has raised the following...'

That would work too. It's just becoming really a bit annoying to have non-senators active in the thread and essentially acting as an 11th senator.

The Atlasian Senate has long proven itself, up to now, open and accessible to the citizenry of the Republic. I don't favour closing the doors.

Then whats the point of even having an elected senate when you have non-senators in there even WRITING amendments. It's only certain people in particular, but it is really ruining it for people that want to offer their 2 cents and be on with it.
