Veto statement

I like bars. Big fan of 'em. But I also like that we have regional governments that are closer to the problems they're facing and more attendant of their needs, each of which could pass these excellent protections if they so chose. Until a week ago I had a governor who by all accounts enjoyed their services! So given this very demonstrable interest by the regions, I'd encourage that the regional and subregional Senators continue pursuing their commendable goals in coordination with their governments and the SoIA.

Quote
Senate Bill
to Rescue Bars from Regional Tyranny


Be it enacted by the Senate of the Republic of Atlasia assembled,

1. No restaurant, bar, saloon, or other business that sells alcoholic beverages for on-site consumption, or employee thereof shall refuse to serve or discriminate against any patron on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity, or advertise or hold itself out as discriminating on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity.

For purposes of this act, the use of any advertising, marketing, or promotional materials or communications that represent a restaurant, bar, saloon, or other business as being a "straight bar", a "heterosexual bar", a "gay bar", a "lesbian bar", a "queer bar", a "cisgender bar", a "drag bar", or a "transgender bar" shall not constitute a violation of this act.

3. It shall be unlawful for any regional government or subdivision of the Republic of Atlasia to prohibit the existence of bars or the advertisement of bars on the basis of advertising, marketing, or promotional materials or communications that represent a restaurant, bar, saloon, or other business as being a "straight bar", a "heterosexual bar", a "gay bar", a "lesbian bar", a "queer bar", a "cisgender bar", a "drag bar", or a "transgender bar".

4. Paragraph 3 of this act does not apply if the content or material of a restaurant, bar, saloon, or other business advertisement is found to be illegal in a court of law.

5. This act shall take effect immediately.

Veto statement

The regions passing bad, unnecessary, or nutcracker bills doesn't mean I'm going to revoke their area of legislative jurisdiction in response. There are more appropriate avenues to oppose such bills. I look forward to seeing those efforts play out and wish them well.

Statement on assent

It's not very clear to me why the Governor had to go through a very strange game of musical chairs to select his nominee but he seems to have turned up an eminently qualified choice with several years' experience in just about every other branch of government, the constitutions of a few of which he helped write, and the General Court apparently agrees given their unanimous ratification. In any case I am obviously honored to assent to Sestak's appointment and see the Supreme Court continue to respect and uphold the rule of law.

The White House released the following statement marking the 21st anniversary of September 11, 2001:

Quote
Yesterday we remembered a day that still lives in infamy twenty-one years later. We mourn the Atlasians on board the flights and in the buildings and the incalculable loss that their loved ones experienced. We especially honor the first responders for their exceptional bravery and dedication to the safety of those around them, and for demonstrating in the face of terrible risk the best of what it means to be Atlasian.

None of us who saw that day will forget – nor should we wish to – the lessons of a nation under attack. And we will continue to declare today and tomorrow as we did then: that Atlasia will not be cowed by killing or fearmongering, nor to the use of terror when our enemies have failed to defeat our resolve for the values that we hold dear. We still stand for the equality of all in the eyes of the law and for human rights free of the perversions that motivated the murders that day; we still stand for a rules-based international order; we still stand for the common folks here at home and abroad, for the communities that they build through mutual love and concern, and for everyone at risk of being left behind. Whatever our differences, we will continue to come together to defend those values as long as this nation exists.

Redraft statement

Marc H. Christ. Can we have people read these things before moving to final votes on them? There's seventeen of you plus a PPT who opened the vote, it shouldn't be that hard.

Anyway, I have put in a figure of 1 billion – based on sponsor intent from past convos with the Vice President, I am opting to narrow the bill's focus to covering remaining tuition burdens of the bottom two quintiles plus delinquents. Given the federal support, need-based aid, various grants, and regional programs that already exist this seems to come out to about $2,000 per student within our target bucket, and my upper estimate for the size of our bucket is around 5 million students.

Signing statement

I am… unsure of how the bill text although undoubtedly laudable specifically relates to protecting secret ballot elections, and perhaps the people who amended this might feel they owe an explanation about that since they did put so much effort into rewriting the bill. Then again, they might not feel their actions need to explained to anyone who doesn’t already agree. That seems like a nice risk-free M.O. doesn’t it?
