Nay.  I think the bill can be reworked as described above to exclude application to minors and to reduce the minimum sentence for mitigated murder to 5 years.

Nay, why have a senate and debate if every bill is just tabled when it doesn't fit with the European liberal agenda?

I am neither European nor that liberal. I am an American moderate yet I oppose this bill.

I think that you'd find that you'd have less of a problem with this sort of thing if you kept your virtual mouth shut.

While there is very little chance I'd vote for this bill even after the discussed changes are passed, I have decided to change my vote on the tabling motion from aye to an abstention.

     In that case, unless either you or one of the nays change to an aye, I'm not sure it's possible for the motion to table to succeed anymore.

     That aside, is it me or is the Senate more table-happy now than it's ever been?

Ah damn. I'm an idiot. Will get back to you in a minute. Forgot they take two-thirds...

To change "fifteen (15)" to "five (5)" in Section 2

To add a section 3 reading:
This law will only pertain to defendants charged after their eighteenth (18th) birthday


The vote is on the Amendment. Please vote aye, nay or abstain.
