NE 3: Sirnick Is A Terrorist Amendment (Passed)

[cinyc]

There are a few technical issues with this bill.  First, the accused needs to be afforded a trial before the CJO.  We also might want to specify who should bring the case before the CJO.  Since we didn't have an Attorney General, it's not clear who that should be.  Second, it should only be a crime to delete such threads with malicious intent.  As Speaker, I know I sometimes screwed things up by posting bills in the improper order.  Quickly rectifying something like that shouldn't be a crime.

We also might want to just mimic the language that the Senate is currently working on instead of going out on our own.

I will let the sponsor speak before proposing amendments.

Another amendment to make it clear there needs to be a trial:

This violates the national Constituition. No bills of attainder or ex post facto are allowed and this is such.

Article 1 Section 6 Clause 1 and Section 7 Clause 3 of the current Atlasian Constituition

Despite the Amendment's name, it would not and could not apply to Sirnick.  It will apply to anyone who does what Sirnick did in the future.  Past officeholder would apply to, say, me, if after this Assembly dies and I am no longer an Assemblyman,  delete the threads I made as Speaker way back when.

By a vote of 4-0-1 the bill has passed, and will go to the governor for his signature/veto.

This is a proposed Constituitional amendment that has received a majority vote of all voting and all Assemblyman. Per the Constituition, the governor doesn't need to sign it. It will automatically go to the voters for their approval next month.
