SENATE BILL: Circumcision Act of 2014 (Law'd)

[Goldwater]

NAY

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

This bill is presently 4-4-1-1 with myself having yet to vote.



It says expressed written consent? Are eight your olds competent to provide such content though? I would prefer them to have their in the matter to be sure, but I am wondering how this works and what current processes are in place if any that so require consent at so young an age.

Expressed written consent can just be a signature (which is relatively easily done for an eight year old of average reflexes), but I'm not sure if the legality of it would hold up to a less angelic-minded lawyer, because minors can technically have most every contract voided for some reason or another.

Meanwhile, I'm changing my vote to Aye.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Aye but with some reservations


This has enough votes to pass, Senators have 24 hours to change their votes.

NEVERMIND


The only issue I have with this bill is, minors may have contracts legally voided at any time. Any expressed written consent by a minor will hardly ever hold up in a court of law pursuant to basic contract law/UCC.  I am signing this merely because I think it is a bit much to force your 8 year old to go through that procedure (perhaps a cruel and unusual punishment argument may be made?). If you haven't made up your mind beforehand, that's your own fault.

I am not confident this will hold up in court the first time someone challenges it, but that presumption isn't enough for me to outright veto this right now.

What the hell you doing Mr. President, the final vote isn't over yet.

I signed it right as I woke up. I'll read more closely next time.

Of all the bills I've introduced, I never thought this one would pass.

Thank you, Senators, for doing the right thing.

See above. I doubt this would ever hold up to a legal challenge, but I don't see a reason not to sign it because I couldn't imagine being forced to get circumcized when I was 8 years old.
