SR 107-04: Anti-Filibuster Senate Rules Change (Rejected)

[Pericles]

This is designed to block debate on bills, enable abuses of power by the PPT, and pass a bill that the President and PPT personally support but many Senators have grave concerns about. I am not comfortable with any changes that weaken the rights of the minority in this Congress and I believe that most Senators want the integrity of the branch preserved first and foremost. With so few checks and balances left in Atlasia, the people need nothing less.

[Pericles]

Do we need to evict the President from the Senate? Personal insults and threats are entirely unhelpful.

[Pericles]

Surely this need to be implemented in 10 years

You won't be in the majority before then so you better hope we go for that

[Pericles]

The amendment itself seems fine, people should not read anything more into this.

Aye

[Pericles]

It doesn't seem like the rules change is needed, and the PPT has other remedies to combat genuine obstruction. That is the view I reached at the time.

Nay
