The floor is open for debate!

[Unconditional Surrender Truman]

My thanks to the speaker.

As we have lately seen in the fascinating and eerily-realistic computer simulation known as "real life," the security of our communities and indeed our commonwealth is placed in jeopardy when fascistic and anti-democratic sentiments are allowed to fester in the divisions tasked with defending the people of Frémont against terrorists and violent criminals. It is essential, both for public faith in our institutions, and for the actual security of Frémont, (not to mention the safety of the vast majority of loyal officers) that these elements be exorcised without delay. Accordingly, I am proposing to create a special commission within the Ministry of Justice to investigate the extent of White supremacism and terrorist sympathies within police and the Frémont National Guard, and to require all future hires and enlistees undergo a background check with regard to current or past affiliation with fascist or White supremacist groups.

[Anna Komnene]

I've been hearing so much about this "real life" thing. It sounds terrifying.

I do think that trust of law enforcement/military is central to a functioning civil society, especially for something so basic as our human rights to life, liberty, and representative government. When push comes to shove, you want to believe that the people protecting your freedom will be on your side. And we've seen what can happen when that isn't the case.

With that said, I think there should be some kind of standard of evidence to cross for these dismissal decisions and/or some mechanism to ensure the ISC itself is objective. I'm not sure how it would work.

[𝕭𝖆𝖕𝖙𝖎𝖘𝖙𝖆 𝕸𝖎𝖓𝖔𝖑𝖆]

I understand the concern for the potential presence of people devoted to a cause that's incompatible with the mission of enforcing the law on behalf of the community, but this gives me uncomfortable throwbacks, and in any case:

With that said, I think there should be some kind of standard of evidence to cross for these dismissal decisions and/or some mechanism to ensure the ISC itself is objective. I'm not sure how it would work.

[Unconditional Surrender Truman]

I'm happy to entertain any amendment the house should feel is appropriate to establish a standard for objectivity. Perhaps we could establish a review commission made up of randomly chosen judges to hear appeals?

Fine with me.

[Anna Komnene]

Sounds like a pretty good idea to me.

Proposing an amendment, then.
