Public Consultation and Legislation Submissions

[President of the great nation of 🏳️‍⚧️]

1. The annual tax form will include a question, asking if the tax-filer is cisgender, with an explanation as to what cisgender means.
2. If the cisgender box is selected, an additional .01% of their income will be taxed.
3. The funds accumulated from this additional tax--the "cis tax", if you will--will go into providing hormone replacement therapy for non-cisgender Atlasians.

Basically the same thing as my old cis tax but with a little more oomph and purpose. I look forward to when it gets voted down by an all-cis jury.

Since the Senate chickened out, I'm now offering this to the Southern government.

If not one, but two all-cis juries won't take up the cis tax because it's "unconstitutional" and "discriminatory"... When this gets voted down by the People™, I'll accept my fate.

i. The title of this Amendment shall be, the “Peanut Governor for Life Amendment.” It may be cited by its ordinal number in order of ratification.

Once he resigns or is removed on the absence clause, he may not resume power in this fashion unless declared otherwise in a proposition in the future. Upon his removal from power, elecitons will resume for the position of Lincoln governor. This rule does not apply to the chancellor.

2. The position of Governorship of Lincoln shall be redesignated to the Peanutship, with its holder being renamed "Peanut [name of officeholder]" instead of Governor [name of officeholder]

Also I will note there is precedent of a regional dictator, and said precedent is actually a sitting Supreme Court Judge

https://uselectionatlas.org/AFEWIKI/index.php/Ilikeverin_Governor_for_Life_Proposition

Of course apparently even in 2006 this was illegal, to the detriment of MidWesterners then and Lincolnites now!: https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=50723.0

But I am sure we can eventually work something out.

Section 1 (Title)
i. The title of this Amendment shall be, the “Southern Agression Punishment Amendment.” It may be cited by its ordinal number in order of ratification.

This amendment will punish the South for electing LT by removing its various privileges

LT's election to the Senate is clearly an act of Southern Agression that must be punished severely. This amendment will correct several wrongdoings that have unfairly benefited the South over Atlasian history. Also, this is clearly not a dictatorship, anyone can join the Liebor Party. Plus we still allow Yankee to retain his seat

[FairBol]

If that passes, "the South will rise again", LOL.

A BILL

protecting the right to produce music that is inspired by other works

Be it enacted by the Senate and the House of Representatives, in Congress assembled:

SECTION 1. TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the "Inspiration Is Not Theft Act of 2020". 

SECTION 2. FINDINGS.

A. In 2013, defendants Mr. Pharrell Williams, Mr. Robin Thicke, and Mr. Clifford Harris, Jr., were served with a lawsuit from plaintiffs representing the estate of Marvin Gaye, Jr. (Mr. Frankie Christian Gaye, Mr. Marvin Gaye III, and Ms. Nona Marvisa Gaye, respectively). 

B. The defendants, which may be referred to as the "Thicke Group", are songwriters and musicians by trade.

C. The matter at issue in this case involves copyright infringement; specifically, does the musical composition "Blurred Lines" (as written by Williams, Thicke, and Harris) copy the essential elements in the Gaye composition "Got To Give It Up" (as written by Mr. Marvin Gaye, Jr.) (thus entitling the plaintiffs to financial relief)?

D. Although the two songs share a similar style, the underlying melodies and harmonies are not sufficiently similar to one another. 

E. A district court entered judgment for the plaintiffs; on appeal, this was affirmed by the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. 

F. As decided by the Ninth Circuit, the ruling in this case effectively declares that works imitating, but not specifically copying, other works may be regarded as copyright infringements. 

G. This decision has had, and will continue to have, a "chilling effect" on the capability of songwriters to produce works evoking other eras or styles. 

H. As a matter of routine, many musical acts and works imitate the style of other musical acts and works. 

SECTION 3. PROTECTION OF CERTAIN RIGHTS.

A. It shall not be a violation of copyright law to:

1. Imitate, or borrow from, the style of another artist or composition. 

2. Produce a work parodying another's compositions or style. 

3. Employ, or assist in employing, any person who created, or assisted in the creation of, another act or work. 

SECTION 4. ACT NOT TO BE MISCONSTRUED.

This Act shall not be so construed as to prohibit certain individuals or groups the right to seek credit, and/or financial compensation for, the direct copying of specific works (in the music industry, this act is known as "sampling")

SECTION 5. WHEN EFFECTIVE.

This Act will become effective when signed by the president. 

[Former President tack50]

CONGRESSIONAL RESOLUTION
In the Matter of the Supreme Court of Atlasia

1. Resolved, That pursuant to Article III, Section 6, Clause XV of the Atlasian Constitution, Supreme Court Chief Justice Windjammer, be, and he hereby is, impeached for his high crimes and gross negligence, and the Offices he holds are declared to be vacant.

2. Resolved, That pursuant to Article III, Section 6, Clause XV of the Atlasian Constitution, Southern Associate Justice PiT, be, and he hereby is, impeached for his high crimes and gross negligence, and the Offices he holds are declared to be vacant.

3. Resolved, That pursuant to Article III, Section 6, Clause XV of the Atlasian Constitution, Fremont Associate Justice Ilikeverin, be, and he hereby is, impeached for his high crimes and gross negligence, and the Offices he holds are declared to be vacant.

4. Resolved, That pursuant to Article III, Section 6, Clause XV of the Atlasian Constitution, Lincoln Associate Justice Bacon King, be, and he hereby is, impeached for his high crimes and gross negligence, and the Offices he holds are declared to be vacant.

5. Resolved, That pursuant to Article III, Section 6, Clause XV of the Atlasian Constitution, Justice Gass3268, be, and he hereby is, impeached for his high crimes and gross negligence, and the Offices he holds are declared to be vacant.

based on: https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-resolution/620/text

Given one month since the end of oral arguments has passed, I will start sharpening the blades

(This is more than in the 2013 debacle in fact, though Windjammer has kept us updated unlike the Justices from 2013)

Credit goes to Peebs for bringing that RL resolution here and to Ralph Abraham for actually proposing it irl

PSA for thumb and Yankee: This is not serious and do not treat it as citizen legislation (if I was serious I would actually introduce it myself for real)

You are a sitting representative, why didn't you introduce this directly into the House instead of here as citizen legislation?

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Section 2 adds up to 190%.
Section 4 uses it's instead of its.
posted here when you're a sitting representative.

Yeah this is real good evidence that the ACLO is a strong, intelligent organization....

Yeah this is real good evidence that the ACLO is a strong, intelligent organization....

My favorite part of this is that it's called the 'covering for our citizens act' when Section 3 and 5 are both included solely to provide protection for illegal immigrants.

[Former President tack50]

To be fair given that Elcaspar, much like myself, is not a native English speaker I would not criticise him for language issues.

[PSOL]

I can confirm that there are areas that as bagel23 and Elcasparwere creating this, personal issues and a constrained timeframe prevented the bill from having an up-to-code draft totally ready. Still, other then the odd %, this matches up to our demands. I expect the federal government to make it stylistically and structurally work in its revisions to end both the strike and provide for the people of Atlasia.

[Unconditional Surrender Truman]

So, let's review.

(1) The ACLO leadership decide the administration is not doing enough to support workers during the COVID-19 pandemic and announce they will go on strike until their demands are met.
(2) The leadership wait weeks without telling anyone what their demands are.
(3) After debate, a majority of voting members of the ACLO speak out against the strike but are prevented from changing their votes.
(4) An entire month later, the ACLO leadership finally release a mangled first draft of relief legislation and demand the administration rewrite it for them because they were too busy to do a good job themselves.

What an interesting strategy!

What an interesting strategy!

1. We weren’t striking for weeks, lmao, the tie wasn’t broken until like two weeks ago
2. While the union took a while to release official demands, due to its co chairs living in different time zones and having things to do that impeded work, I still listed unofficial demands of why I started the petition here and there
3. Then maybe y’all should follow voting procedure or, maybe, y’know have taken us seriously and voted and cooperated with us before the official strike. Before I left laborcord, I sent a couple of public messages urging y’all to work with Elcaspar
4. We shouldn’t have even done the work for the federal government, but we did, and it’s the job of the federal government and the union to see it appropriately revised and turned in.

[Unconditional Surrender Truman]

You issued your call for a national strike on April 7. This bill was released on May 8 —a full thirty-one days later. Meanwhile, key sectors of the economy are at a standstill because ... you couldn't figure out time zones? There are several foreign nationals in the administration, but this didn't stop the president from issuing a response to the strike in a timely manner. There are several foreign nationals who are members of Congress, but it doesn't take them thirty-one days to follow up on their own ideas. I have written many bills over the years in collaboration with posters who live as far away as the UK, France, and Australia —it does not take thirty-one days to produce such a shoddy product as this unless the people involved just aren't interested in the project and can't be bothered to follow through. Which is fine ... except, in the meantime, you decided to shut the economy down and leave everyone hanging while you avoided questions from myself and others.

It is simply irresponsible to call for a strike when you aren't prepared to negotiate with the opposite party and don't even have a clear idea of what your objectives are. What is this strike suppose to accomplish, PSOL? As far as I can tell you decided that something ought to be done, but had no idea what, so you decided to lay down in the mud and abdicate all responsibility for leadership in this time of crisis. Why should anyone take the ACLO seriously when they don't even take themselves seriously?

We shouldn’t have even done the work for the federal government, but we did, and it’s the job of the federal government and the union to see it appropriately revised and turned in.

Yeah, when you're proclaiming your movement to be the voice of organized labor, it is your job. It's definitely Elcaspar's job, because he is a member of Congress. Just as it would be irresponsible for a president to lead the country into war without a clear exit strategy, it is irresponsible for you to lead your members out on strike unless you're willing to go the distance and engage with the system. If you're not willing to do that, then step aside and let labor and the government get back to work.

And guess what, the strike didn’t happen until May 1st, under the breaking of the tie by Bagel23.

We have the bill in Congress, and from the looks of it the strike is going to end or be muted, it’s in the governments hands as the union acts as a tenuous observer. Nothing more at this point, nothing less.

[Mike Thick]

And guess what, the strike didn’t happen until May 1st, under the breaking of the tie by Bagel23.

So you didn't start writing demands for three weeks after you called for a massive, nationwide general strike? And then it took you another full week to finish a rough draft? Is this seriously supposed to be a defense?

[thumb21]

Before I left laborcord, I sent a couple of public messages urging y’all to work with Elcaspar

I've been working with Elcaspar in congress for 6 months, I'm not sure what you mean by this. I get on well with Elcaspar and am happy to work with him on anything but it certainly does annoy me when members of congress who have done very little about the pandemic themselves start supporting national strikes based on the idea that we haven't done enough.
