Northeast Assembly Thread

[President Mitt]

I nominate Fallen Morgan for LT. Governor.

[President Mitt]

On the bill: Aye.
For lieutenant governor: Wormyguy.

[President Mitt]

Nay

[President Mitt]

Nay

[President Mitt]

I echo the governor's concerns, and would oppose an override.

Your opinion doesn't count.

Well, I'm sorry you feel that way. That does seem like a large slap in the face to the Northeasternern citizens who elected me to represent them, but in an attempt to preserve civility, I'll just ignore the personal attack.

Giovanni, why don't you take a few minutes and read the report? The SRC spent a lot of time on that, and it's rather insulting to see people oppose it because it's long and they're too lazy to read it and understand the changes the report makes.

I did read it, and as my post indicated, I, like the Governor, am concerned about the repeal of the Nullification Resolution. I think it is ultimately necessary to have such a resolution to protect our region from unconstitutional overreach on the part from our Federal government. There are many members of the senate I could quote that would love to trample the rights of our region if they had the chance.

If the Feds overreach their boundaries, we cannot just wait for a Federal judiciary, who are by no means filled with lovers of constitutional restraint, to come to their senses, the regions much act. In fact, I cannot understand why Jake Matthews, who claims to be a libertarian, could possibly support repeal of the Nullification Resolution, I do hope he changes his mind.

[President Mitt]

I guess Jake just isn't an idiot who thinks not counting your vote is a "personal attack".

Well I am disappointed, Napoleon, if you disagreed with what I said, you are more than welcome to dispute what I have put forth and we can debate it. This is after all, the Northeast Assembly, and both you and I are Northeast Assemblymen, but instead of doing so, you have decided to resort to more personal attacks against me.

Marokai Blue is somebody I sharply disagree with on, well, practically everything. Both me and him can have spirited debates against the other. He does not on the other hand simply resort to attacking his opponent by calling him names such as "idiot" and telling him that his "opinion doesn't matter" even though the people legitimately elected him through the democratic process.

Perhaps the people of the Northeast Region should consider that when choosing their next senator.

[President Mitt]

You're not an Assemblyman.

When did that happen?

[President Mitt]

You're not an Assemblyman.

When did that happen?

Youre not part of this region, ergo, you are not particular this Assembly.

That's bullshit and you know it.

You must be logged in to read this quote.

I was democratically elected to the Northeastern Assembly by the people of the Northeast Region, the Northeastern CJO even certified the results as such.

Certification of April 29, 2011 Northeast Assembly Special Election:

Jake Matthews, a.k.a. 20RP12, is the only person who wrote himself in.  No one declared or agreed to accept write-ins after Jake Matthews vacated his old Assembly seat by swearing in as Lt. Governor on April 19.  Thus, all votes other than None of the Above are invalid. 

It is certified that Jake Matthews has won the April 29, 2011 Northeast Assembly Special Election with 3 votes.  1 vote was legally cast for "None of the Above".

Please note that Governor Ghost_white previously certified the following Atlasians as winners of the April Northeast Assembly general election:

Giovanni, Homelycooking, Jake Matthews, Napoleon, Sbane, and EarlAW

That certification will remain in effect unless someone successfully sues to overturn it.

Where in your constitution supports your viewpoint?

[President Mitt]

It's not a matter of belief.  If it's in there you can quote it.

[President Mitt]

I am not the one who should be looking up anything. I have stated particular facts and backed them up with constitutional resources. Your bullshit viewpoint has no constitutional standing. It's funny that you're accusing the Lt. Governor and Governor of abusing power when it is clear it is you doing it.

[President Mitt]

I will admit that I did not expect to win, and did not take my responsibilities seriously upon my election. That was very wrong of me, and I apologize to the Assembly for that, especially homelycooking, who I know worked very hard to reform the region. I have since changed and truly want to attempt to serve the Northeast Region. Hell, I even moved to the NE in an attempt to disperse the controversy.

If I fail, vote me out next election. However, if Napoleon truly does not believe me, I would have no problem going to court to defend myself.

[President Mitt]

It is very good of you to admit that and I welcome you to the region when you're move ttakes effect but surely you don't take it personal that I want the Constitution to be followed?

Of course I do not take it personally that you are wrongly interpreting the Constitution.

I appreciate your apology very much, Giovanni, and I accept it. But considering that you are the Assembly's member from the "Carpetbaggers United Front", I must still question your sincerity. Have you really changed, or are you still a "Carpetbagger" at heart?

That was an attempt at creating a joke party. I didn't intend for it to go anywhere. You may have noticed while studying the region's legislative history that I am a former NE Assembly member for two terms before 'retiring' to the Midwest. The NE has actually been the only region where I served in government.
