Motion to expel Senator Deus from the Senate (Failed)

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

No one has died, but that is not the standard we should be applying here.

I believe Deus did engage in behaviour that brought jeopardy on this Republic. While I am undecided on whether or not to support expulsion. He should be censured at the very least.

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

As someone who was in the Senate for Napoleon and Xahar, I will tell you what Xahar and Napoleon did are far more worthy of expulsion than this. They halted the ability of the Senate body to do its job.

That really isn't the point here is it?

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

I have given this a lot of thought.

I believe that Deus did encourage activity that sought to willingly undermine our country. This cannot and should not be swept under the rug. Referring to this as purely a matter of free-speech is naive.

However, as far as I'm concerned, he fundamentally brought himself disrepute not the Senate, which I believe is the primary driver for such a move.

I vote NAY on expulsion, but I will move a censure motion against Senator Deus and call on the Atlasian people to make the final decision as to whether someone advocating such views deserves to remain in the Senate.

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

NAY - for reasons I have already stated.
