Good to see a little bit more activity. Things are slowing down a bit, and maybe thats a good thing

[Associate Justice PiT]

     The outgoing Viceroy is rather busy these days. If he does not get around to it soon, feel free to open debate on the bill Kalwejt proposed for me.

Viceroy, Mr. Speaker,

I urge my fellow legislators to pass this bill for a very simple reason: the position of Attorney General is totally pointless. Almost nothing to do and in rare cases of a court case involving IDS it's much easier to appoint an interim attorney. No interest in this position at all. There's no meaning and no purpose.

Thank you.

[Associate Justice PiT]

     I'd like to point out that I deliberately left the qualifications for the special prosecutor vague. Part of what makes filling the office of Attorney General such a burden is that the holder has to be a non-officeholding subject of the Empire, which is often difficult to find or recruit to hold office.

     By leaving the qualifications vague, the region leaves its options open. The special prosecutor can be a current officeholder or a citizen of another region. Many, if not all, of the IDS's great legal minds have lapsed into inactivity. To not allow sympathetic persons from elsewhere to serve our region could put us as a critical disadvantage.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

My first venture into the politics of Atlasia involved the Office of Attorney General. Its abolition is all well and good in my eyes. Its a pointless waste of space, and if I recall, Wisconsingurl was the AG, and never did anything. The qualifications must be left vague, so we can have options, and this bill will give us them. However, a future Reform Bill is needed, and I will begin writing one soon.

[Associate Justice PiT]

     Time for a vote?

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Hello?

[Mr. Taft Republican]

I forgot when I officially took office, if that time has come then by all means the vote is now open, please make haste Darths.

[Associate Justice PiT]

     You take office tomorrow, sorry. Thank you for the offer to help, though.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Hello?

[Associate Justice PiT]

     Never fear, I am on the case!

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Sanchez, viceroy?

Am I the only one left here...

[Mr. Taft Republican]

K, now its good, go go gadget vote on Darth Kalwjet's bill!

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Aye

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Forgive my absence, it is inexcusable. I have blocked a vote, and I do apologize. If I do this again, I will resign my seat in the legislature. I vote AYE on abolishing the Attorney General.
