No

At least post why we shouldn't do it, not just No. -_-

Better than Tweed, Jedi?

Yes, becuase you actually said why.

[MasterJedi]

Ugh, you had to introduce that amendment when you know it won't pass and it will waste time. I hate when people do that. -_-

That's not the point

'Hawk'

Yes it is. I introduced the bill without that because I didn't support it probably neither does the whole Senate and also to save time. You introduced it when you don't support it and probably neither does the whole Senate and it wastes time. So it is the point.

[MasterJedi]

If someone was actually in favor of it, then let them introduce it.

This was also one of my points.
