I'm putting this in the PPT's discretion slot, till another slot is available.

I need something quick, before I do something crazy.


I didn't want to delete the one that had posts in it, and the explanations of what the heck happened. But I guess my computer has other plans.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Wow, look at all the criminal corruption going on here,


MR. ATTORNEY GENERAL!!!!


Oh wait, he bought a vote during his confirmation hearing.

Senators, A Motion to Table has been invoked on this bill. This is a 2/3rd's vote and will last for 48 hours.



Nay

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Nays lead 5-4 with Rowan not voting and 23 hours left to vote. Note that as along as Nays have 4 or more votes, the motion fails.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Only a few short hours remaining, I'll let Dallas close this one out. Though use my usually C-Span style post, please, Dallas.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Can I ask for this to be brought to a final vote?

You're welcome to ask anything you want. Whether you'll get it - that's the question

Don't see Dallas anywhere. I'll vanish, then you start the vote Duke. This is so ing illegal it ain't funny.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Damn he is online, we've been caught red handed.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I think this crook had something to do with the final vote occuring. There was advance warning of 24 hours of the final vote as well. If you guys don't acknowledge that and respond accordingly, there is littel that can be done accept to start the vote as scheduled.

Senators, however, have up to 7 days to vote.  Not 24 hours.  They have 24 hours from their vote to change it.  Once the 24 hour period after the 6th vote in favor or against has been passed, then the voting can be cut off early. 

You guys wonder why nothing got done when I was PPT?  It's because the rules suck.  And I didn't feel like saying "to hell with the OSPR!" 


Nay, by the way.

Damn, I was too caught up in responding to the cries of "Why da final vote so soon" that I totally missed Dallas' inclusion of the 24 hour line. Historically a time hasn't been included in the opening post of the final vote. Usually it is listed in the Noticeboard via the listing of the date on which the current action ends. If you will check I put it as the 18th in there.


Of course while, you may have up to seven days to vote, it won't be pretty if you decide to take all seven. In fact it would be nice if they took just seven minutes, alas we can't operate that quickly, even if I were to use the bayonet.

Well first off you had the wrong OSPR. Don't feel bad Dallas did it again a few days ago.


There is actually a process for saying "to hell with the OSPR", its I beleive Section 8.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I see 6 nays, therefore this bill is failing. Senators have 24 hours to change their votes.

Well, not really.  Section 8 gives you certain rights to say to hell with the OSPR... but it requires the approval of the VP and a 2/3 vote, not including you, to do so... and then on top of that... it gives you no right to mess with article 5, which deals with voting on legislation.

But yeah, I think I always put the deadline in the announcements.  It gives people a quick glance when they're going to vote.

As for seven days... at least 6 senators have to vote the same way before you can cut short the seven days... at that point it's 24 hours.  If the total is 5-4.. you have to wait out the full 7 days.

Didn't say it was great process, just saying one existed. We need to improve Section 5 in my opinion. A lot of it is a ridiculous time waist.
