I just noticed that my amendment text inadvertently left out the part about life imprisonment w/o parole and solitary confinement.

I request that the PPT halt the vote, using his Article 5, Section 1, Clause 3 powers under OSPR.

I wanted to bring up the fact that we had left out something, but I'm not actually inclined to put forward an amendment to put it back in at least the same as it was. Based on what we've tried before, the ban on life sentences would make this amendment unlikely to pass, and the ban on solitary confinement should really have some defining parameters as to what qualifies.   

So I'm sorta wondering what TNF or anyone else wants to do at this point.

I suppose leaving it out for now is fine, given that the last time we tried to ban life imprisonment without parole, it went down in flames.

just to be clear, this is a resumption of the vote, not the vote starting over?

Its a new vote as I don't think there are provisions to restart a stopped vote where it left off. That is because typiclaly the text needs to be changed and it wouldn't make sense to carry votes over from a vote on a text that no longer exists.

We're one AYE vote away from passing this.  Current tally is 6-2, with one abstention.

I am hessitant to fail this. I like the middle section and the bottom portion.


But on the flip side I do support capital punishment and am hessitant to remove it from the military.
