The resolution basically has the same purposes as the previous ones: to promote interest in our nation's legal system and judicial affairs by debating relevant legislation in the committee firsthand.

Senators interested to fill the assigned seats, and no worries for us to contend with regarding one or more members of this body having more than one committee assignment at a time. Title: Re: SENATE BILL: Senate Committee on the Judiciary Creation Resolution (Debating) Post by: Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee on July 23, 2012, 07:59:33 AM We may end up with Senators on more then one committee. I would rather have active Senators pulling double duty then to have the dead weight drag the committees down.
Title: Re: SENATE BILL: Senate Committee on the Judiciary Creation Resolution (Debating) Post by: Redalgo on July 23, 2012, 08:52:39 AM Ya, I agree completely. But are Senators allowed to do so? For some reason I was under the impression that we are not, which is the only reason I brought it up in the first place I guess.
Title: Re: SENATE BILL: Senate Committee on the Judiciary Creation Resolution (Debating) Post by: Mad Deadly Worldwide Communist Gangster Computer God on July 23, 2012, 10:57:36 AM I don't think Senators are going to be allowed to chair multiple committees, but they will still be allowed as members on them.
Title: Re: SENATE BILL: Senate Committee on the Judiciary Creation Resolution (Debating) Post by: Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee on July 24, 2012, 11:00:53 AM There are no regulations regarding limits on how many committees one can serve on, nor how many committee chairmanships one can hold, in current law or procedure. Though in practice, we will seek to avoid having a Senator hold multiple chairmanships.
