Senate Protest and Analysis Thread

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Actually it's not dead yet. You've got 15 minutes to get 4 Senators to change their vote. Good luck!

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I see a picture of Libertas, bgwah and Xahar having a "kegger".



I wonder if they will be serving coffin varnish, vintage 1924.

I posted this in the White House thread but no one has picked it up yet. Could a senator please sponsor this legislation on my behalf:

You must be logged in to read this quote.

Sure.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Many thanks sir.

A PM would have gotten it done sooner, you know?

I expect the Senate to read my White House thread religiously of course.

You know I still haven't read your last post you made as GM back in May I think it was.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Goddammit, do something controversial!

I doubt it would do much. A lot of Senators seem to be having difficulty understanding the purpose of the bills, and as such a bill to ban gay marriage even would likely get lost in translation, if you know what I mean. .

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I have another, Hamilton-free, suggestion.

We're all stuck with our usernames, but some posters are already known under other, than the originally registered, like Fritz (JLD), Sewer Socialist (SpaceCommunistMutant) etc.

Why not to introduce an act that would allow us to officially change our principal name for Atlasia purpouses (as NiK tried to adopt "Willkie")?

You can do that already in the Registration thread.

"Name change?"

Yes, I do beleive so. I have seen people modify their registrations just for the purposes of a "name change".

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Its nice too see an effort being made to reform stuff but it would help if it wasn't a reform to do something that 1) is already being done, 2) can be done if a certain action is taken by the individual.

Constitutional Convention Request

It has come to my attention that per the Rules of Order and Procedure of the Constitutional Convention, statutory approval is required for an extension of our mission. I ask that the Senate consider legislation extending the date of final approval until October 17, at which time the Convention shall be statutorily required to approve a final document.

~PS

Could you give us a date and preferably a format on how to do this. I would assume an amendment would suffice but unless you stabbing in the dark and potential inconsistencies between the amendment and the law froming the Consitutional Convention, I would suggest the formulation of a tentative amendment with your prefered date by yourself or someone else who is part of the convention or the administration.

I am against government-issued monopolies as a matter of principle. Individuals should not be forced to shell out their hard-earned money to the State for a government "license" to do what they do.

Hence I am wholeheartedly opposed to this bill.

Are you for people without any medical training taking advantage of people?

No, private medical associations/guilds run by actual physicians can do a better job of certifying and regulating than government bureaucrats.

EXCEPT without the uniformity of certification brought about by law--y,know, as in created by a mean old government--the associations and  "guilds" (what, it's 1280 now?) have zero uniformity or power to certify or regulate anything.

Suppose some doctor--an opthomologist perhaps--doesn't like the current certifying board and their harping on about "standards" "training" and "professional expertise", yadda-yadda, and goes and forms his own opthomologist "guild" which then "certifies" himself and every quack willing to fork over some dough? Under Libertas's theory what's to uphold the NECESSARY standards of competence?

Even if theoretically the AMA held on to being the central respected authority of the medical profession. If some quack declares themselves a doctor, what can the AMA our any other "guild" do to "regulate" or stop the fool? Sue him with an injunction? Sorry, no more laws requiring certification. Hope the miracle of no AMA endorsement will ruin the quack's practice? Yeah, great---the legally mandated competence over daily decisions affecting life and death being reduced to a Craig's list endorsement. That'll sure keep the quacks away.

There's at least one good prospect of this proposal: If passed there's always the chance an unlicensed quack could operate on Libby.

I wonder if he likes William the Conqueror more the he does William III?

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Given that Libertas is gone, it would seem a good idea for the Senate to expel him.

Gone for a day, and damn. Looks like he won't be answering that procedural question on the TSA bill.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

If we have come to the point where we actually have to hold a vote to expell someone who has been banned then it is long past time that the bitter fruits reaped from the harvest of Purple's ridiculous doctrine be forever thrown out and replaced with superior and much more ripe produce.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Does someone want to pursue the bills Libby introduced but weren't brought to floor before his ban?

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Not this time, PS.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Hey guys, do we want to recess like we did last year? If so I would suggest not introducing much more legislation.

I have nothing else to do for the Holidays, so... no.

You better hope your collegues also don't have a life.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

anyone else find it strange that a bill could be passed or a nominee confirmed with votes by only 4 Senators in favor?

The Senate only has 7 members now. So 4 is a majority. Its very rare that such a situation occurs.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I oppose that entirely. I like the current set up. Order of swearing in, its fairest and it ensures that someone who joined more recently can achieve the position of Dean. Otherwise the minute that someone like BK, or Afleitch,  or even me got elected to a future non-consecutive term would instantly go to top of the totem pole based on past service.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Should I restore the stupid PM's? It's not enough but atleast it would speed up the votes. We are taking to long to deliberate on bills. We can't keep having discussions that take a day for each person to respond. It seems that very rarely are Senators ever online at one point in time. I realize that would be difficult to insist on trying to have everyone one during a specific set of hours.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]
