[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Would encourage the House to reject this. Time to move on.

[fhtagn]

Motion to table this.

[Pericles]

I think this should be passed but first amended to remove the allegation that the Supreme Court's impartiality has been tainted, as that is not the case but the comments are still unacceptable.

[thumb21]

Objection.

Will elaborate when I have time (tommorow).

[At-Large Senator LouisvilleThunder]

I second the motion to table this. This is just pointless virtue signaling.

[RC]

Also seconded, not necessary to really do this due to already existing conversation about the subject. Everyone knows what happened, no need to continue pouring gas on the fire.

[fhtagn]

There's no legitimate reason for this bill to continue existing.

Also this bill has been sitting here since October 31st and not a single "supporter" of this bill (the sponsor included) has bothered to come forward to provide any reason why this is necessary. It's time to kill it and move on.

[thumb21]

I wish that people would treat this issue as serious as it is. This isn't virtue signalling, cancel culture or whatever other toxicities exist on the left that some people like to dwell on. Supreme court justices sit for life and it is perfectly legitimate for people to want to hold them to account. Who sits on the supreme court and what they say isn't just an issue about pointless outrage, it has a significant effect on politics and trust in the judiciary in general. I struggle to trust a justice who says any part of this country is in a suicide cult. As I see it, standards for supreme court justices should be extremely high.

Current and former justices don't support what you guys are trying to do with PiT. Let it go already. There's more important issues to focus on.

[YE]

A 48 hour vote to table is now open.

[YE]

Nay but please fix.

[fhtagn]

Aye

[JGibson]

[Blair]

Nay

[At-Large Senator LouisvilleThunder]

[RC]

Aye.

[YE]

Debate can continue.

Let me amend this.

Amendment watering this down a little and adding a title:

[YE]

24 hours to object.

[fhtagn]

Objecting to the amendment, for several reasons.

[YE]

A vote is now open because we obstruct for everything now.

[fhtagn]

A vote is now open because we obstruct for everything now.

For starters, your amendment removes "Justice" for everything, but adds it at the end for no reason. 


Second, this entire resolution is a waste of time. There's real issues to worry about. Someone saying something that some people didn't like that literally affects no one doesn't warrant us making a bill about them.

[YE]

no, the bolding bit was an accident and has been fixed accordingly in accordance with:

4.) The Speaker shall have authority to correct grammar and formatting of legislation, provided that such technical changes do not alter the intended meaning of the legislation.

And secondly if you think it's useless, why are you lengthening its stay on the House floor by objecting to an amendment and forcing a three day vote when it could be adopted in 24 hours?
