SR 116-14: End Selective Service Amendment - Failed

[Penn_Quaker_Girl]

Aye

[At-Large Senator LouisvilleThunder]

Abstain

[West_Midlander]

I'll reiterate this:

This is a "feel good" amendment IMO which protects individual liberties now at the expense of sacrificing the defense of the nation in the event of extraordinary, liberty-threatening events such as a global world war. We can have greater freedom now, perhaps in name only so long as a draft is not in effect, and suffer the consequences later, or we can reject this.

Furthermore, Senators Wulfric and LT both voted Nay on this bill three weeks ago. What changed?

I dare say that certain forces got to them.

Nay

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

The vote is 8-6-2-2, however an amendment to the constitution requires a 2/3 absolute majority. Therefore the amendment fails.

Wall of Shame Vote 7:

Strike 3: Griffin
Strike 1: Utah Neolib
Reset to 0: Devout, Muaddib, Lord Richard

This failed but this comment never received an answer from either Senator. If there was a good enough reason to change one's stance on this over the span of three weeks, respectfully, I'd like to know what it was.

I felt the people deserved to vote on this issue, now that the secession crisis is firmly over.

I see. Thanks for the response.
