Aye.

I am happy with a BAC level equal to that in the UK and New Zealand.

You guys do realize that a 0.5 BAC would mean that most people could only have one drink before driving? That seems awfully draconian.

Fritz now determines if it is a tie and sent to Bacon King or if it fails.

My mind is open to convincing and my vote is open to switching, if someone can persuade me.

Should we expect a veto, then?

I won't say much, but people are able to drive properly at 0.6 or 0.7.

Wow, guys, running a bit of a nanny state here? A BAC of 0.08 is the legal limit in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and the UK; I don't think these countries have any problem that bumping the limit down a notch will solve at all.

Tmth's vote shouldn't even count, no offense. I don't think he knows anything about alcohol consumption.

Get out of here if you don't bring relevent content!

I don't know much about alcohol consumption, either, for the record.

Hamilton is talking about opinions that shouldn't matter.

The irony.

I would appreciate a more definitive statement, if possible. If a veto were the result of going to 0.05%, then I'd vote for this amendment after all.

Ah, sorry. Your question slipped my mind. I don't think I would veto the entire bill, as it's important that we have a national DUI policy, but I'd like to see what the final bill is before I make any judgment.

Mr. President, Mr. Vice President:

Though only a lowly regional Assemblyman, I have a decidedly unique perspective on the issue currently before the Senate. I would respectfully request that you both hold off making a decision on this bill before I have a chance to make several points that I believe may aid a fully informed decision on this matter. I only ask that you wait until tomorrow, Monday at the latest, as my wife and baby are coming home shortly from an overnight trip, plus I'm frankly tired. Your patience is greatly appreciated and will be, I hope, rewarded.

And we have a 5-5 tie here folks! It now goes to Bacon King to determine the outcome.

And with that Aye the amendment passes. I'd like to open up the final vote in 24 hours so I'm hoping that Badger will be able to come in during that time so we don't have to wait.
