Senate Protest and Analysis Thread

[k-onmmunist]

It would be in country, not in game.

Probably better to word it as a resolution against daylight savings time, rather than as a law abolishing it.

Ah. How would you word it then?

Whereas, [insert why you hate DST]; and

Whereas, [insert more reasons];

Be it therefore resolved, that the Senate expresses its opposition to the original creation of DST.

Something like that.

Somebody introduce this:

Disunity Act

If a Presidential candidate is a member of a party, his running mate may not be a member of a different party.

Does this mean VP "must be of same party", or could also be a registered Independent?

The latter.

I do intend to introduce such legislation soon--it was my idea after all--but I was busy with finals and what not, and also wanted to get a feel for the Senate first before I started proposing anything.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I still see no reason behind this, that isn't politically motivated. Unity tickets both give and take away from competativeness. Usually though a party alliance doesn't last very long in Atlasia, so I don't see the urgent need or justification.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

And here I was worried the Senate would move so fast that I would fall behind in votes by being sick and thus not online as much. I knew you guys would have my back. Thanks for being so cough...incompe.. ahh considerate. cough cough.

[Badger]

F#$k you too, Yank.

I also don't see any need for this bill. Banning unity tickets is an unnecessary restriction on political discourse, organizing and activity.

Ditto.
Since Bgwah apparently didn't pay enough attention to notice that I introduced a strikingly similar bill on behalf of Xahar on the 15th, I'll go ahead and delete mine.

[Marokai Backbeat]

Hey, if anyone's concerned about a boring Senate, just say the word and I'll get into a fistfight with NCY on the Senate floor. For old times sake.

[Vepres]

What a boring Senate

[Marokai Backbeat]

What this Senate needs are some regularly scheduled cage matches.

[Badger]

What a boring Senate

Suggestions?

Legalizing cocaine? For real?

Question. When exactly do HAEV members get reappointed? and in what order?

[Peter]

Question. When exactly do HAEV members get reappointed? and in what order?

A question of some debate.

We serve 6 months term, staggered every 2 months, but there was no consideration in the original bill, in what order the original 3 would split.

Barnes helped out by going just before 2 months, so I stated at the time that Bullmoose was considered to be filling the regular vacancy rather than a special vacancy.

4 months from creation is around 20th April, and either Meeker or I could go at that time (and potentially be renominated). I've had no discussions at all with anybody over which of us would go first, though we'll have to eventually cross that bridge.

I suppose you and Meeker could decide between yourselves, if nothing else.

Yes.

[HappyWarrior]

Legalizing cocaine? For real?

Yes.

For what actual reason?

[Associate Justice PiT]

Legalizing cocaine? For real?

Yes.

For what actual reason?

     Because it's none of the government's business if somebody wants to use cocaine.

You must be logged in to read this quote.

Does it look familiar? That's because it was a bill that was discussed and heavily debated a few sessions ago. It passed the Senate vote, but failed the public vote.
Some key differences between this version and the other version:
- This version is, overall, more specific than the other version.
- This version requires the voting ot be done in STV, while I believe the other didn't specify.
- On this version, all regions part of the possible deal have to vote 60% in favor. In the other version, it only needed a simple majority.

Me love you long time, tmth.

Me love you long time, tmth.

Should I be pleased, or scared?

Eh, take it how you like.
