Extradition Bill

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

I suppose that might not be the best examples since many conservatives would like the same penalty for homosexuality as in Iran.

lol @ DWTL's flip flop.

How is it flip flopping to support other countries laws even if you don't believe in them? And I wouldn't be the one talking about flip flopping.

Because he told me in a PM that he supported the goals of this bill and then voted against it.  I wasn't referring to anything on a broader scale.

Actually, under the Senate rules, Lewis' vote counts, but his successor can change it.

Yes, IIRC, I actually wrote that rule.

Anyway, I think I made an error here as the current vote of 4-5 doesn't mean the bill is failing, yet.

The declaration that 24 hours remain is therefore rescinded.

Voting will continue until the remaining Senator votes or the maximum voting period expires.

Interestingly, the text you wrote doesn't define who my successor is, nor was the issue addressed in the Senate debate on it:

It's easy enough in this case, but what when there's two new open seats and two contests between sitting district electors?

Fair point. The intention when I wrote it was simply that as each Senator has a designation (either by region or district) following a line of succession (at least in an official/legalistic sense) should be reasonably simple.

I'd accept though that significant anomolies can arise.

I don't believe that's exactly what I said and if it came out that way I've never been one to have not lack flawed language.

That was actaully intentional though

The bill has failed, time to get a new one in there (sorry if I sound nasty but I really want my bills to come up and there is only one more before it)

[Ebowed]

With 4 ayes and 6 nays, the bill has failed.
