Apologies, the voting closed eight minutes ago. The last tally I posted is the final vote.
Except for Unicario's change, which came in just before closing.

ISA and CAFA pass, the others fail.

Next up is the bill banning death penalty (I forget its exact name.)
I support peace in Israel and Palestine. The governments and people in power on all sides are an absolute disgrace, and their unwillingness to pursue peace is a disservice to the people they are meant to be serving. The status quo is not simply untenable; it is unquestionably unacceptable.

I would like to make a request; I would like the Judicial Act, upon being introduced to the Chamber and upon it's completion (it's not ready yet), to be given priority over other bills, along with any other bills co-sponsored by the Minister of Justice that is relevant to the establish of a legal or judicial system. Also, instead of the typical 'five approval requirement', I request that there is a veto option for this measure and that there must be a supermajority of 2/3 of approvals over vetoes for this to measure to pass. Thank you.

Do you have an ETA on when it will be finished?

If it's going to be within a day, I suggest we postpone the debate period of the next bill and begin discussing the Judicial Act as it arrives. Something so important must be given the full attention of the Senate.

I think we need to vote on the anti-death penalty act as was previously understood to be happening, which is important considering the recent event of the bombing.

I move to begin voting on the Restricting Capital Punishment Act. There really isn't much to revise or debate about: you're either for or against the death penalty.

The anti death penalty measure is irrelevant if we cant charge the suspect.

It's relevant: when a criminal is eventually charged, prosecutors can't seek the death penalty.
