Protection from Criminals Act (PASSED)

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I support this measure.


I would question though, would this limit legitimate claims? Say when a criminal act has been committed and person suffered injury financially, would they still be able to seek civil action?

I was under the impression that amendments by the bill's sponsor are automatically adopted. if that is not the case, then we will move to a 24-hour vote on the amendment.

Under the rules, I think that such can be done without a vote simply by going through a UC request. Same for all amendments actually. If it is a minor change like a spelling issue or something like that than yes, I would treat sponsor amendments as automatically accepted.

Votes can only be closed prior to 72 hours if Six votes in the affirmative or negative have been obtained. If such is the case, then 24 hours shall be given for vote changes.

All three votes must be counted, lest the Mideast, Northeast and 1/5 of the nations voters be disenfranchised without a basis in the rules for such.   https://uselectionatlas.org/AFEWIKI/index.php/Current_Senate_Rules,_Regulations,_and_Procedures

Once the three votes were counted, you could have called 24 hours then since you had 7 aye votes if I am not mistaken.
