Senator you have 24 hours to begin advocacy.

Remember our best hope is to first strengthen language regarding the evidence as it pertains to said person's guilt as opposed to just "pertaining to the crime".

Double Jeopardy is a critical protection and its preservation is essential to protect people from frivolous prosecution. Not everyone can afford to be in court over and over again and unless there is a real strong proof that the person did it, there shouldn't an exception otherwise.

Not offering this yet, as I am unsure about the word "linking".

The amendment is adopted.

Where is everybody on this? Do we have seven votes right now to pass this even?

Reluctant Aye

I am not a fan of "let the people decide it" doctrine, since I think we are sent her to exercise our discretion to act in there best interest both short and long term. However, I am having a hard time determining that here and my natural instinct would be to side with fewer prosecutions even at the risk of some people walking. However, I think this one is better crafted and could very well resolve a thorny problem. If Duke's opinion is represenative of the people though, then this will likely be defeated in the Regions.

Well we tried, bore.

Still too early to end it though.
