Senate Protest and Analysis Thread

[Хahar 🤔]

Context?

Have you been watching the news recently?

So I have (though less than usual). But what exactly is the legislation in question that you wish to repeal?

End Plastic Bag Pollution Bill

1. A levy of $0.20 shall be made on the sale of all plastic bags within the Republic of Atlasia to take effect 6 weeks after the ratification of this Act.

2. For the purposes of this legislation, 'plastic bag’ shall be defined in as a bag 'made wholly or in part of plastic'.

3. Any and all funds raised from this levy shall be directed towards an 'environmental fund'.

4. The expenditure of monies from the environmental fund shall be made on projects dedicated to improving the environment of Atlasia as may be approved by the President of Atlasia, or such persons as he may appoint to do same.

I like this bill, but I am wondering if anyone would open to creating a sort of "bag deposit" similar to the bottle deposit some states in order to encourage recycling

Surely a staunch Regionalist such as yourself shouldn't want the federal government to be getting so involved in local affairs.

Ideally.  But this will most likely pass.  I do plan to introduce amendments to have this go toward infrastructure and to have the program be regionally run.

I recently noticed that the wording of the act that bans affirmative action is, frankly, dangerous. Thus...

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.

Well, that can be fixed.

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

     You have the right of it. Some parts of the Taft-Hartley Act I would be open to repealing or reforming, but I will absolutely vote nay on any bill that interferes with a state's ability to pass right-to-work laws & such.

Motion to expel the only two senators who vote against your bills, Jas?  Come on that's kind of low.  Anyway I would be amazed if the senate voted to expel either one of us for doing something that was not illegal, it would really just show that if there is a big enough majority you can kick people out who don't agree with you.

It's got nothing to do with illegality. "Conduct unbecoming the Senate" ought to apply to more things than illegality.

Motion to Expel Senator DWTL and Senator PiT

For conduct unbecoming an Atlasian Senator, I hereby motion that Senator DWTL and Senator PiT be immediately expelled from the Senate.


I would ask that this motion be brought to the Senate floor as soon as possible.

Expeling them from an act that had nothing to do with their role in the Senate?

I don't see why tariffs are better than subsidy...

     They bring money into the Government (only a small amount though ).

[CultureKing]

Pssst!!! Senate! Pssst!

You should pass the governor bill thing. I like it. And of course I am not just saying this because it would make my position more powerful.

     Correct. If we opposed the use of public money for any purpose, we would be anarchists, not libertarians. As such, a statue to KotBP is the best possible use of our money. His phrase is probably the greatest to have graced our boards since PBrunsel's triumphant return two years ago.

Tell SPC. And go build it with donations. I might be willing to give a little.

I beg the PPT to strike down this frivolity.

I beg the PPT to strike down this frivolity.

I intend to let it go to the floor and offer an amendment that turns it into an amendment to the species act (or whatever the current version is called), actually - I want Dollar Bill on the dollar bill.

[Meeker]

Could someone introduce a bill that abolishes filing deadlines, or at least makes them much more reasonable? There's no reason for them to be so far out from the opening of polls.
