tfw Lincoln supports extortion.
Tfw the same people who just complained that the Speaker holds votes too fast without debate demand that no amendments to a contentious bill be debated at all so that a retarded bill can be rammed through without any input. Once again Lincoln's pathetic government structure stands out.
Reactionary, while I value your contributions on a lot of issues, I do feel like you're wrong here. I would ask the same decency be extended to all legislators, not just a select group. The fact of the matter is that there was time for Lfromnj to propose his Amendment, there was a motion for a final vote on the floor, the parliamentary procedure was literally on its last legs before Lfromnj proposed his amendment. The time for debate and objections had elapsed, and we cannot criticize some lapses in parliamentary procedure while encouraging others.
Anyway, I will sign this soon.
