This way each party can come up with their own bill tomorrow and not worry about playing catchup on a Seer bill if we need to.


Finally.

A truly bi-partisan action. True proof that I can in good faith throw my support behind a Dem for Speaker

Vote Chubby for Speaker of the House

RULE INFORMATION:

I e-mailed CR regarding unvoting on a bill (making a late switch, etc.) and we are unable to do so. Once your vote on a bill is cast, it is locked in.

No, I hadn't.

But as I stated, now that you have actually taken action towards uniting the parties, something more than voting to pass bills your voters would have already liked, I support you for Speaker.

Rather than edit, I'll repost and make it read for information's sake:

Once you vote for a bill, you are unable to swing/change your vote, it is locked in.

It should be. We all know the one thing that will get a politician in more hot water than a sexual encounter in a men's room...flip-flopping.

It's time for you to act as you, and those of your party, have stated you will act...in the best interests of the country at large, not one party or the other.

I believe this bit of your statement is entirely assumption, you have no basis for this belief.

however, I feel, and my constituancy agrees/believes as I do, that it is better to push the boundaries and gain a more secure nation, than to play the politicly corect game and worry about our popularity.

Even if you are correct, and I do not believe you are that our popularity may suffer by being attached to a bill deemed unconstitutional, is it not better to show the voters, AND THE WOLVES, that you're willing to take that risk and vote your conscience and not your career?

Hopefully today's Seer bill will pass the muster of the courts and I can submit a different bill tomorrow. If not, I fully plan on following thru on my pledge to submit a seer bill tomorrow if one is needed.

It'll take two more to get the Wolf Discovery Bill passed and at this point, I think we at least test the bounds of the court.

You are ignoring the other drawback to having this law ruled unconstitutional - wasting a day to get the seer. That's a much bigger deal than a hit to one's popularity.

I agree that losing the day is a HUGE waste but if we don't pass the bill, we've got the same problem. At least by passing it, we have a chance that it'll get by the court rather than just sit by and do nothing. This is how we allow government to grind to a halt.

Agreed.

Is now a good time to start discussing how this other alternative bill will start benefitting my side of the aisle as well as yours?

If you'd like to feel free. I am still holding out hope that today's Seer bill will clear the courts.

A new bill will be in the works from the GOP. CR said that all votes for the old bill will be null and void -- we'll try to get it out fast.

I would take a really close look at whoever designed that first bill. It seemed pretty blatantly unconstitutional to me.

Okay, I got permission from CR to post our bill, even though I'm not the Leader or the Whip. He asked that the Leader (Tyrith) or the Whip (jeheinz72) please confirm that this is the bill when they show up.




I, Passacaglia, taking the place of Tyrith, the gun loving leader of the Congressional Republics, and jeheinz72, the whip loving traitor, submit to you this bill for your consideration -

NATIONAL WOLF DISCOVERY BILL

Co-Sponsors: illinifan999 and Mrs. Schmidty

We create a seer role to be given to a random non-wolf member of this Congress, to have the ability once per year, at night, to select a member of Congress and determine whether or not they are a member of the Wolf Party. The name of the person to be scanned should be given to the moderator before the night deadline.

Further, if this seer is attacked at night by the wolves, he shall have a 25% chance of avoiding political death and remaining in the game, although he shall not learn the identity of his attacker.

With six votes already in favor, it appears that this bill is already well on the way to passage.

Deep down in my soul, I do not believe that it is morally right to use surveillance methods on American citizens without a properly obtained court order. Indeed, on this issue, the Fourth Amendment is quite clear.

I have heard from my constituents, time and time again, about their concerns over this measure, and I cannot, in good conscience, support it.
