[Pericles]

This needs a sponsor.

[Pericles]

24 hours to object to Blair to sponsoring this.

I hope we don't see any childish obstructionism over this and we can get this done pretty quickly.

[Pericles]

Contrary to what Peri thinks, no one is obligated to foolishly rush through stuff just because one party wants it done.

Obstruction for the sake of obstruction is not a good thing in general though

It's been proven that the majority has a very flawed view of what is or isn't obstruction.

Only in your imaginary world has any such thing been proven. In the real world you're clearly determined to grind legislative productivity to a halt and obstruct Congress simply because you can't stand that we won the last few elections and not you.

[Pericles]

Anyway Blair is recognized as the sponsor and is invited to speak on this bill.

[Pericles]

Representatives have 72 hours to vote on whether or not to end debate on this bill.

[Pericles]

This bill has passed 4-0-1-4.
Aye; 4 (thumb21, ReaganClinton, JGibson, Blair)
Nay; 0
Abstaining; 1 (fhtagn)
Not voting; 4 (razze, YE, LouisvilleThunder, Elcaspar)
