Senate Protest and Analysis Thread

They'd still post here though, unless Gustaf and MasterJedi agree to delete all their posts here (which I seriously doubt they'd be willing to do).

Something is better than nothing, yes, but the problem with trolls in Atlasia isn't so much that they're swinging elections with their votes or screwing up the system by creating new parties. It's just that they're annoying and won't go away. I don't think that this bill would change that.

I introduced Peter's bills.

Could you be more specific?

I'm incredibly opposed to that amendment. First, I don't think we should be amending our constitution to ban people from the game. Second, Xahar was already found guilty of a crime and sentenced to a punishment. Passing this amendment to punish him further for no additional proven crimes would go against the republican and liberal ideals of our constitution, is cruel and unusual punishment, and is something very close to double jeopardy (it probably has a real name, but I'm not a lawyer).

Would treason extend to intent to sabotage an aspect of Atlasia? I think subversive tactics to attack an Atlasian party (RPP) or to induce fear upon individual members (Marokai) should be considered treason against Atlasia as a whole, no matter where the evidence is found (unless of course evidence can only be used from within the Atlas forum).

No. Those things are not treason; that's ridiculous. I mean, I know people are out to get Xahar, but please let's not make a mockery of 1) the Atlasian legal system or 2) the Atlasian constitution to do it.

Putting the time down to 1-2 weeks is good, I think.

The difference between Marokai's proposed law and FL 20-6 (what Afleitch linked) is that FL 20-6 amended laws that only applied to the District of Columbia and federal territories. The way Marokai's bill was written, it seems like it would apply to the entire country.

Does Atlasia have a federal abortion policy?

How about the Senate move to create a national bank, and let the banks that are failing fail. Enough corporate welfare.

I support this plan (or some variation thereof).
