Senate Protest and Analysis Thread

[MAS117]

I hope the Senator does not table it.

[Emsworth]

I hope the Senator does not table it.

With all due respect, could the Governor please explain the justification for the recognition of a sunken ship as a sovereign nation?

It's MAS, that's all we can say. I can also say that I won't be voting for this.

To tell the truth I don't care, but heres an idea that MasterJedi might like, lets make it a state in Atlasia!

Could someoen put the Military Enlargement bill on the wiki?  I can, but I'm really not very good at putting stuff on there.

[Joe Republic]

Forestry (Sustainable Development) Bill

For every tree cut down by a company, co-operative or individual working in the forestry industry, that company, co-operative or individual must plant two or more trees in the same forest or other woodland environment

Good bill, Al.  Though I'd recommend stating that the newly planted trees must be protected for a certain length of time after planting.  Otherwise the same individuals will just cut down the new ones as soon as they've planted them, and so on, and the whole thing becomes a giant mess.

Hmm, this will probably lead to Bono v. Atlasia III.

We need to abolish the courts.

Maintaining the legislative statutes has generally been considered to be the job of the Justice department.

Or Bono himself.

Is there even a PPT anymore?

Most forestry companies re-plant the area after they have made their selective cut anyway. Also, I know that alot of the time, trees are harvested simply to thin out the forest. This bill would prevent that action.

[Colin]

Yeah I'm here. I, constitutionally, can't do anything, though, unless Emsworth is away so my position is nearly useless. Emsworth has the overall authority to control the bill debates, decide which amendments to dispose of, and when to start votes. I only do it very rarely and when it is needed.

[Emsworth]

On the contrary, you are perfectly at liberty to act whenever you please. The Senate rules allow it.

Oh good. I thought the Constitution limited me to a purely secondary role.

Nope.  In fact, the OSPR really gives you primary control over internal Senate affairs.

Well, the Constitution simply says that the Senate can create its own body of laws to govern itself.  The OSPR is that set of laws.

Emsworth is by far the most active VP we've had so far, and when I was PPT, he routinely took action so fast that I never had a chance to do a thing.
