Criminal Justice (Reform) Act

[Cranberry]

I won't say much on the legal and theoretical substance, since I understand that this bill is a novella in terms of re-wording, re-organising and re-arranging of existing legislation rather than an innovation in precisely this legal and theoretical substance, and also to relief us all from the pain that is to write, for me, and to try to decipher, for you, the string of words I usually put in here and that are at least intended to resemble a real language.

Quite to contrary, first of all, I want to congratulate and also thank Al for this, I dare say in lack of better words, phenomenal and also, I believe, quite arduous, work of his that is his bill. Atlasian criminal justice reform is overdue, and the law could not have hoped for a more competent gentleman to handle its reform.

I have to admit, I do not understand much of legal language, less even when such is in English, but all this looks quite good and fine for me, and I intend to support this reform.

Concluding, I would propose, in honour of Al's extremely massive work he put in this, to rename this act into something on the lines of "Al Sibboleth Criminal Justice Reform Act". Would my fellow Senators concur with this?

Not to criticize you or anything, but I would tend to view this approach as somewhat distrurbing. Someone plunks down a new rule book in front of you, and your default position is Aye until convinced otherwise?

I can assure you my vote starts off as nay until every concern is addressed.

No, not all. It is just that firstly I believe that Al is quite competent at what he does, and secondly, there are nine other Senators of which certainly a few will have more knowledge than me on matters like that (not difficult), and will ask the right questions, so I can make my conclusions from them
