A reintroducing of Cassius's tabled amendment

Federal Marriage Amendment

1. This amendment defines marriage in the Republic of Atlasia as consisting of a union of two persons, of no closer degree of consanguinity than that of second cousinship.

2. No level of government, whether at federal or regional level, may confer marriage or the legal incidents of marriage upon any other form of union not covered by the definition above.[/quote]

Given that JCL stated his opposition to the Federal Marriage Amendment during the debate over said amendment, and given that it was voted down by a strong majority, I am declaring the reintroduction of this amendment frivolous. JCL, you have 72 hours to challenge this action in a public post. If 1/3rd of your colleagues decide that this legislation is not frivolous, I will gladly bring it to the floor so that we can table it again and not waste our time with such an inane proposal.

I brought it back for a simple up or down vote. Cassius deserves to have this bill voted up or down. Regardless of my own position, tabling a bill is the frivolous act here. This is my public post.
