SENATE BILL: The Bicameral Birthing Amendment of 2014 (sent to the Regions?)

[Dr. Cynic]

Mr. Vice President, I will be assuming sponsorship for this bill at ex-Senator Griffin's request. (It's been awhile, so I'm not 100% on what the procedure for this is, but I'd like to at least state the intent).

[Dr. Cynic]

I'm ready to move this to a vote.

[Dr. Cynic]

Agreed. If we're going to do this, we'll have to have some sort of consolidation. Without that, there's no point in passing this.

[Dr. Cynic]

Given that the sponsor indicated that he was ready for a final vote three days ago, and given that we haven't really heard anything else substantive on this matter, I'm going to open a final vote.

Senators, a final vote is now open on this amendment. Please vote Aye, Nay, or Abstain.

So what your saying is what I've been saying for the past several weeks doesn't matter to this debate?

Not that it doesn't matter. I'm happy with the bill as is and I want to have the vote.

Aye.

Well, you're neither a senator, nor have any senators actually put forward your views in an amendment or as a point, so, procedurally, yes, what you're saying doesn't matter.

Cassius speaks on my behalf.

And he's voted now. Most of the Senate disagrees with this view.
