Senate Protest and Analysis Thread

Xahar's letter can be found here:

Thread is locked, I presume, to avoid the thread being filled with "omg you scumbag" type posts, for better or for worse.  Let's wait and let justice be served. 

Humorous to say the least.  To say he meant no harm by hacking Ben's account is absurd.  That's like saying that stealing someone's credit card is okay

Did I post with it? Did I use it in some way that harmed him? No; I used it to recieve access to some hilarious fun.

You used it to access Ben's PMs and try and figure out what Ben was up to

I wholeheartedly support the Special Prosecutor Bill

[DownWithTheLeft]

I like it except for Section 2

No but seriously I really don't want to pass something that looks nice on paper just for the hell of it, if we want some real answers let's make some real penalties.  (Free Palestine Bill, cough, cough)

[DownWithTheLeft]

$30 per troy ounce of silver or else

Yeah, I'm not really against that either as long as our money has something backing it.  Compromise will most likely be necessary

[DownWithTheLeft]

I'm considering a bill to shut down the senate during the convention, or at least allow no votes on constitutional amendments

[DownWithTheLeft]

Took BaconKing's ideas

PiT, we can certainly work on that depending on what senators are willing to work with the bill and where the support lies.  The taxation section was worked on heavily with I believe Ebowed

[DownWithTheLeft]

I don't know if Marokai and Lief are open to that, but I am open to put Canada and European Union in the ''Buy Atlasian'' clause.

How the hell would it be "Buy Atlasian" if Canada and the EU were included?  Hell let's just throw in China, Japan, and the Sudan have a ball

[DownWithTheLeft]

I urge all senators to oppose the massive intrusion of freedom in the bill Sen. Fritz's has just proposed.  Atlasia has a long history of party switching and waiting 60 days in between party switching is absurd

[DownWithTheLeft]

However, if these things are prohibited by federal law, maybe a bill simply decriminalizing them and not making them legal would be effective in turn allowing the regions to set precendent in a way they cannot now

[DownWithTheLeft]

I'm glad Marokai brought up my drug bills as each one did nothing but make it not a crime to possess these drugs and allowed regions to set their own laws regarding possession, sale, and consumption

[DownWithTheLeft]

Point still stands.

And I, like SC I presume, is completely on board with the idea of the bills, just not with shoving the will of the federal gov't upon different regions with different needs

[DownWithTheLeft]

The Dirty South is still the premiere region, we are just being held up by a few stubborn citizens blocking the legislature.  I mean sure we had to crash a little bit after last year, but Duke remains the greatest governor in the history of Atlasia (sorry Inks )

Amending?  This is the only kind of abortion bill that should ever be passed.  I applaud the senator for his bill and will firmly support such measure whenever I re-enter the senate

Rowan won't be in the Senate though, so it'll be tough to get the votes for it.

Not if I run in October

[DownWithTheLeft]

Yank, you just said you'd only support an amended version of the bill, I'm not in favor of making loopholes like rape and mother's health that can be used as justification for any abortion

[DownWithTheLeft]

The chances of that occuring are so small is not worth the exception.  The amount of abortions that would occur out of the loophole would dwarf the amount of times that happens.  Its also not our call to say who lives and who dies

What happened to regional rights?

I support them fully but abortion is a matter of life and death, we must protect the innocent from death.

Teenage Liberation Act

All laws containing an age requirement or limit between the ages of 15 and 21 shall have that requirement or limit changed to the age of 14.

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. 

Not that I have a problem with this obviously, but would this include the purchase of firearms?

[DownWithTheLeft]

Wow, 14 year olds in porn.  That is a tad creepy, although maybe not illegal.
