Senate Protest and Analysis Thread

[HappyWarrior]

I think it would have been better if HW had just tried to repeal the most obviously obnoxious features of Taft-Hartley rather than the whole thing; I don't think that we're going to get a bill passed that includes the full legalisation of the closed shop.

If the full bill plans I plan to introduce seperate more amenable sections. 

[HappyWarrior]

I wholeheartedly support the Special Prosecutor Bill

[HappyWarrior]

Everyone be friendly and cordial to each other, please and thank you.

Its not cordial to make it so that no other senator can properly propose a bill the whole session.  It'll take us weeks to sort through all your drivel with the result being 20 or so failed bills.

[HappyWarrior]

I would propose, as a matter of forum affairs and internal Senate function, that the time period that the PPT Candidate Declaration Thread remain open be reduced from 72 hours to 48 hours, before the new Senate Session begins. I just don't want the progress and activity of the current Senate to slow because of the slow nature of the PPT election process.

In the grand scheme of things it is honestly not that long a wait.  Changing it by 24 hours won't affect much in my humble opinion.

[HappyWarrior]

Oops completely forgot that bill lol.  I will of course withdraw it.

[HappyWarrior]

MJ what is it with you and all these new FTAs?  Its like you're trying to annoy me

[HappyWarrior]

I also feel that a Taiwanese FTA would drastically harm relations with the PRC.

[HappyWarrior]

I think that tmth's legislation is a regional matter rather than a national one.

[HappyWarrior]

Can someone explain the constitutionality of the motorcycle bill to me please.  How is the naitonal government given the right to legislate traffic policy?  Should'nt this be a regional rights issue?  And why isn't the "Regional Rights" Party againest it?

So sue. I'm already in one lawsuit.

I plan to but I'm not quite sure, I'm no legal expert.

[HappyWarrior]

Again, Marokai, the goal is to be able to see a position from someone else's point of view and not just criticize them blindly. It's not a matter if regional rights if someone truly believes that abortion is murder. Nowhere did I state a position in this thread, but those who have should know that there are many different ways people see abortion and that it is the driving cause between the policies they advocate.

The thing is you can't pick and choose when you wnat to be pro-region when that is supposed to be the whole point of the party.  Abortion is a regional issue and always has been in Atlasia as the majority of Atlasia is fully aware.

[HappyWarrior]

Does Atlasia have a federal abortion policy?

Like I said it has always been a regional issue by tradition.  For instance in the Mideast we  have embraced a policy wherein we only allow abortion in the case of abortion, incest, or danger to the mother.

So, one can only abort in a case where one is going to abort. Very liberal for the Mideast

I meant rape lol

The bill that was just submitted by Tmth was under my directive and I hope it is what everyone thinks is needed for the situation in Somalia.

It seems reasonable.

I tried to be sure I did'nt include to many of my war hawk stances

[HappyWarrior]

Repeal of Privacy Protection Act:

FL 31-18 is hereby repealed.

Just a note here, Franzl- this would have gone onto the Senate floor anyway, even without Tmthforu94's sponsorship. The anti-clogging language in Senate bylaws only prevents a person from having too many bills on the floor if there are other bills waiting behind them.

Why are you guys repealing this perfectly good law?

[HappyWarrior]

I think Saudi Arabia should receive tighter restrictions due to their human rights abuses.

But can you imagine how terribly this would affect the Atlasian economy?

[HappyWarrior]

Diplomatic recognition ought to be withdrawn from Saudi Arabia (among other places).

Trust me if we could withdraw diplomatic recognition from alot of nations like that I would, but sadly it'd just wreck industry and economy.

[HappyWarrior]

I would like to say that I believe Senator Mint's final submittied bill will damage our military readiness as well as our international prestige.  If anything we need to increase foreign aid.  That is all from the office of the SOEA.

[HappyWarrior]

Legalizing cocaine? For real?

[HappyWarrior]

Legalizing cocaine? For real?

Yes.

For what actual reason?
