Considering the domination of the right, I guess I don't have any chance to get in. It's sad because Speakership is not supposed to be a partisan position...

Bullsh**t.

Antonio's cluelessness and inability to be professional were my reasons for voting against him. He further proved it with his posts in this thread.

Can I respectfully ask you what you mean by this ?

Your bitter partisan attacks and inability to respect others led me to vote for cinyc, someone who has never spoke ill of any group without due reason.

Please, tell me when I ever made partisan attacks and lacked respect toward other Reps. in the Assembly thread.

Not in this thread, maybe. I'm not going to dig. But certainly around the bord. You have spread ies and been openly hostile to myself, Libertas, andothers. If you ant a higher office, run for Governor. I will votefor you in February i you do.

I have always been polite with all of you in legislative debates. Notwithsatnding my personal concerns with you, I voted most of your bills because I found them good and well-written. So please don't call me immature.  I can perfectly accept that you don't vote for me, but please don't throw dishonest attacks against me.

[Antonio the Sixth]

As a Northeast Representative, I have always debated about issues and never with personal anger. I challenge you to prove the contrary.

Actually, you called me an 'idiot' multiple times.

On subjects that had nothing to do with the Assembly.

[Antonio the Sixth]

If I did, I apologize. Anyways, the attacks thrown by Hamilton against me remain ridiculous and groundless, especially coming from him. But I've now understood that the truth is irrelevant for Hamilton, and that, since he has the majority, he will have no problem to impose his own vision on everything.
Hamilton and Libertas, I really look forward to see what will be your opinion of the bills I have introduced, and if you will just bother to look at the text instead of just making them fail because of who introduced them. If you will propose Amendment or just discard them since the beginning. Now we will see who are the hacks and who are the ones who work for the improvement of our region.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Mr. Speaker, if I may:

I would like to offer forward my recommendation of our former Speaker, Mr. Smid, to Governor Andrew CT for the position of Lt. Governor.

Seconded.

[Antonio the Sixth]

As to make it clear, I'm not candidate to Lt Governorship and I officially ask not to be on the ballot.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Yeah, sorry.  I'm gonna go ahead and resign.  My return was grand and thanks for the support, but I can't get into this stuff again.  It just doesn't do it for me.

Sad.

I respectfully abstain. AndyCT is a big boy and he can make big boy decisions all on his lonesome here, just as we don't need him making an executive order suggesting who should be assembly speaker.

It's not about what he needs or not, it's just how the Northeast Constitution works. Seeing how often you make lawsuits about the unconstitutionality of some practices, I thought you knew it better.

There's a lot of stupid crap in our constitution, and no reason why I can't abstain here on an essentially pointless vote to make commentary on it.

True. But I'm sure you have an opinion on this.

Who cares? There is no vote changing anyway!

And obviously I was uselessly trying to influentiate Mr. Moderate in order to make him change his vote, right ?

[Antonio the Sixth]

I know you are ready to anything to achieve your goals, but do you really think you will convince someone with your sneaky talking points ?

[Antonio the Sixth]

Motion to amend.

Anti-Discrimination Act

1. The Northeast Government pledges to uphold the rights of all citizens regardless of race, gender, gender identity, class, sexuality, ethnicity, religion, and disability status.
2. The Northeast Government will hereby refuse government contracts to any company or organization which is found to discriminate on the basis of race, gender, gender identity, class, sexuality, ethnicity, religion, and disability status.
3. The Northeast Government, in hiring, and in representation, shall not discriminate on the basis of race, gender, gender identity, class, sexuality, ethnicity, religion, and disability status.

What's the purpose of this now-unfriendly amendment, i.e., what's the difference?

Males than identify as women, females that idenitfy as men.

It's not something believe in or support legitimizing.

Yes, it would provide protection for the transgendered. Which is, frankly, much better grounded in science as "not a choice" than homosexuality.

I'm sorry, I cannot support this amendment to the legislation.

Can you tell us the reason why you don't ?

[Antonio the Sixth]

I suggest to strike word "class". There are no social classes recongized under Northeast nor Federal law. I suggest replace term with something like "social background".

Nope.

What formidable compromising skills...

[Antonio the Sixth]

Social background was a stupid term that could mean anything.

"Class" could mean anything as well.

[Antonio the Sixth]

I ask for a vote on the three proposed Amendments.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Amendment 1 (Rep. Mr. Moderate): Aye
Amendment 2 (Rep. Doctor Cynic): Aye
Amendment 3 (Rep. Sewer Socialist): Nay
Amendment 4 (Rep. Kalwjet): Aye

[Antonio the Sixth]

Note to Moderate: if you want this bill to exist, vote nay on the first two amendments.

Saving a bill from being destroyed by kooks.

Don't worry for that, man.

[Antonio the Sixth]

I don't need to have sympathy for overeaters, let alone have the government not work with those who don't hire a huge person. Next we know the government is going to have to super size everything.

This is not about sympathy, but about justice.

Size and smell are both choices.

Lose weight and take a shower.

Obesity is an illness.
