Free Palestine Bill (Tabled)

[Franzl]

I wish we'd stop with the insults.

Yes, it worked out better this time....perfectly true, but that doesn't mean I blame the last Senate for not wanting to work with it.

I'm happy we accomplished something, DWTL, don't get me wrong.....but we did dramatically change the wording

[Franzl]

Oh I agree, it's really great that we're getting such diverse cooperation.

We've had lots of bills that pass with supermajorities.

Just look at the Help Atlasian Study Act of 2009....which increases taxes and increases government spending.....but with a regional compromise promoting federalism, we got 9(!!) senators to support the legislation.

A similar compromise was made on the Environmental Act...and I'm happy that we came up with a solution to that. I definitely would have opposed attempts to eliminate it, but some changes were perfectly legitimate, and I'm glad we voted for them.

So yeah, you're right, this Senate really does work well together.
