Thank you for the gentle reminder that this thread is about immigration reform, and not former Sen. DWTL.

A remarkable number of threads seem to have become about DWTL of late, and not in a positive manner. I will offer my opinion that the former Senator might be better served by attempting to make positive contributions to debate in the Senate.

I would like to state I entered this thread simply to point out to the current senators on the former debate on this bill and how closely debated it was hoping to sway their opinion in favor based on the arguments made the former.  However, as one can clearly tell by reading this thread I merely responded, polietly I might add, to what others said.  The reason I address the senate is because due to the backlog, I was in the senate when most of these bills were proposed unlike a good majority of the current makeup.

I would remind the former Sen. that his first comment on this thread was about how a former Senate might have once come close to passing this bill, and that it was directed aggressively and in no way polite, and was followed up by various attacks on the state of the current Senate without commenting on the merits or lack thereof inherent in the legislation at hand.

It is equally disrespectful that a current Senator and the SoEA have allowed themselves to be drawn into what amounts to a shouting match about each other's faults on the Senate floor. I hope that the populace does not take this as representative of what is expected among Senators, Cabinet members and Senate candidates in Atlasia.

I do not see the comment I made as impolite, although I could see it being interpreted that way.  I ask the senators again to review that debate and how they pick up on something they were not thinking about it.  Distractions are not what the senate needs.

BTW, the conversation remained civil until SoEA Jealously chimed in

[Sensei]

aye

[Friz]

Aye

[Sam Spade]

Considering the Senate is not the place for halfway reasonable legislation, I withdraw this legislation.

[Verily]

The bill is withdrawn, though FTR the motion to table would have passed.

One more sign Atlasia is turning into crap.
