Aye.


If shua were to come back after this passes and then offer an amendment to strike just that part dealing with the time limit, then I would at this point most likely vote for that.

has there ever been a problem with the issue of someone declaring so early the election administer missed it? I'd like to understand what the rationale here is and see if we can't come up with a compromise.

Why should be wait for a problem to emerge to solve it ? Preventing it from happening is easier and can avoid another stupid constitutional crisis.

I don't see what's wrong with what I suggested.

1) it's disruptive when you change this sort of thing from established practice of people being able to declare whenever.
2)what's the constitutional crisis?  If the constitution is implicated, maybe legislation isn't enough and we need an amendment.
3)again, what is so special about 2 months?
4) if the election administrator allows someone on the ballot who declared more than two months prior, can they be sued?
5)if we are going to do this we at least need to make it absolutely clear to everyone what the start date is to declare for every single race at the regional and federal level.

Senator shua, do you desire to persue an independent amendment to strike the time limit from the bill?

Yes, I suppose that is the best way to go forward right now.
I'd like to amend the bill to strike the proposed clause 6.

Bring this mother to a vote!  I want my bill to be up SOOOOOOON because Texas, New Mexico, and Oklahoma are frying Sad  And it's spreading and getting worse (and likely to get much worse as all signs indicate another bone dry winter in 2011/12).

Do you want it in the Emergency slot, it is currently open. The PPT slot will soon be open as well.

NCY- If you can work it in soon, that'll be just fine.  Thanks.


Nay to the amendment.

Nay to the amendment.

The problem is that the OSPR insists on going in order of introduction on most of the slots. It's midway down through the queue. It could be two weeks or more before it can come to the floor. While we don't have a calendar like the RL bodies, since the amount of time a bill will take is unknown, there is no way to be certain just how long it will be.
