General Senatorial Discussion

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I just finished a week and a half project to track all amendments this Senate. They have been numbered as well. The last amendment is number 13 by Shua to the Do Not PM List Act at 12:01 am on April 3, 2011.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I have been requested to the bring the Japanese bill and the Registration bill to the floor immediately, ahead of a bunch of legislation previously introduced. Since one is an on going emergency and the other is forum affairs I think I have the ability to do this. I will post the relevant section of the OSPR here and will give a few hours for anyone who has a problem with this action be taken.

is the slot that was being used for Rowan's Libya bill going to be used for Ben/HW's Libya bill?

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

also, I thought Kalwejt withdrew his deregistration bill?

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

also, I thought Kalwejt withdrew his deregistration bill?

Yes.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

is the slot that was being used for Rowan's Libya bill going to be used for Ben/HW's Libya bill?

I am going to keep the PPT Discretion slot opened for Libya, yes.

also, I thought Kalwejt withdrew his deregistration bill?

Yes.

Its not deregistion, its a bill by the President to change the registration requirements. Notice I said "registration" not "deregistration".

now I can't help but wonder if we are not going to see a Libyan bill introduced but instead the direct executive action we are now witnessing.

HappyWarrior just introduced a bill that directly impacts Libya.

please tell me you are joking and that you were actually paying attention when we tabled the Protect Libyan Citizens act because we thought some better bill was in the works.

PEOPLE !!! Take a look at the amendment currently being voted on in the Do Not PM List Act. This amendment will not be finished till the damn thing runs out of time on the 12th most likely. If every Senator had voted within a day or two, I could have called it sooner and saved three whole days of waisted time. With an amendment, it can be ended as soon as 6 Senators vote nay or aye and there is no 24 hour period to change votes regardless of how many vote in an opposite way. This is one of the biggest delays and its the result of the in attentativeness of Senators. Try to check board EVERY OTHER DAY, ATLEAST, preferably every day but we all have things that come up and these last few days and really 2 weeks have just been crazily weird for me

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

ladies and gentleman, we have multiple votes on-going. Increased activity or even just availability means we can have near real time voting. Meaning we could be moving on to two other bills, and beging catching up on the backlog. You hold the success or failure of that effort in your hands, now get off your asses and go vote.

[Antonio the Sixth]

You know I always do my best to perform my Senate duties. Yesterday was just a very very busy day, and I've spent the morning looking at Canadian election results.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Ah yes those damn Canadian elections. Teddy AIMed me something about that bs and jammed my computer. I had to ctrl-Alt-delete and restart the machine. I wasn't very happy about that. I shall be very anti-Canadian for the next day or two. I'm joking of course, about the anti-candian part.


I am always speaking to the Senate in general with such statements as the one above. If there was some way that we could find a hot spot in activity during the day when most Senators are on, these bills could be finished easily.


There are two bills where one more person can remove them floor, one of which is very time sensitive, with less then 24 hours left in the vote (about 20 to be exact). There is an amendment to a bill that is tied with 4 having not voted yet.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Screw useless NDP.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I wonder how long it will be till Dallas gets on and does his thing once Noon comes.

No changes in Senority since the same scoundrels are in office after the April elections, as before.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

I post now in this thread because PPT said he likes, when we post here.

Same here.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Actually Shua likes this one. I prefer the other one. Both are fine for the purpose.

Are you ah having some split personality there, Kal?

Took a while for you to notice that secret

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

is it possible to change the name of a bill already on the floor?

[Marokai Backbeat]

is it possible to change the name of a bill already on the floor?

Certainly, just introduce an amendment with the altered name.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Can you guys please turn your attention to the FPR that I posted?

Thanks.

SANCTIONS ON LIECHTENSTEIN!

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Senators, I would like to congratulate you on the success we have had in reducing the backlog of legislation that built up in the queue. This is not a time to let up however, as we need to, in the word of Stonewall Jackson in the movie "Gods and Generals", "Press On! Press On! Press On!".


I am thinking we should begin working on the improvements to the OSPR. I have a feeling this could take a while, so I am thinking we should begin tomorrow. I can bring my OSPR amendment up in the PPT's slot and use it as a launching pad to fix some mistakes and make some general improvements. Thoughts on this move?
