I want the President hauled up here to defend this. He has 24 hours.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

That is certainly ridiculous.

So just to get this straight, no advertising for non-national broadcasting shows will be allowed on the the public TV channel and radio station, correct? The way it is written now, it seems like you ban advertising for non-national broadcasting shows on all TV channels and all radio stations.

I certainly wouldn't want that... apologies for the confusion.

Yes, this would ONLY apply to the national broadcaster.

That the way it is currently written doesn't align with your intent on that, unless I am misreading the current text. I am willing to withdraw my amendment for a text you find acceptable that clears up the confusion on this matter.

Senators have 24 hours to object to Senator Scott's Amendment.


I agree with Senator ILV's sentiments regarding the playability of this board. It should definately be NPC.


Also, what about an Atlasian equivalent to PBS? Was it abolished?

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Amendment to solve that playability issue:

Senators have 24 hours to object to the playability amendment offered your esteemed, benevolent, madman in control.


I am still patiently awaiting a reponse to ILV's and my concern regarding the existing of cross over institutions from the US.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Unless I missed something Scotts and my amendment's have passed.


I take it we will never get an answer to question of ILV and myself as to WTF happened to NPR and PBS in this game?


Senators have 24 hours to object to Sbane's amendment.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I am striking the amendment as functionally impractical because it doesn't reference which of two sections the first part is changing. The current bill has 0.5% tax in two different places.


The Senator may re-introduce the amendment, specifying what it amends.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I move to dismiss that as unrealistic.

Maybe so, but even if that were the case, my preference would be to have a vote held on the amendment rather than to just have me strike it based on my personal opinion and biases with that regard.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Clarence?



And Sbane's amendment has 25 minutes left before passage. I will need to declare it so after it expires which probably will be after seven or eight sometime.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Sbane's amendment has passed.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

It was too unclear as to what it amendment when it said "0.5% tax is replaced with ...." There are two instances of "0.5% Tax in the bill. You need to specify which one you are amending which can be done in several ways.

You say, "Section.... is amended as follows:" or you can and past the text and then strike it with with the strike through feature: .

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I am afraid I will have to ask that amendment be re-introduced correctly no later then tomorrow.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

We done here then?

Might as well have the traditional Christmas color combination here.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]
