Ahem new party brother we do not antagonize others for their belief; we treat them with respect despite their inferior political idealogies.

[Othelos]

Nay. This law legalizes Police the power to end life, which is evil.

So the person about to kill someone else is much better?

My apologies brother, force of habit from many months of war. (And being in the International Incidents forum my entire time)

I vote Aye, and remind our fellow senators that if this law causes problems we will amend it.

I believe a proper motion would be "I motion to move the National Security Act to the top of the queue." I'm not making this motion myself, just commenting.

Thank you Senator (I do MUN, so the transition is a little jarring )

In that case I motion to move the National Security Act to the top of the Queue.

Motion for it to happen. I particularly belive my Limiting Legislation Act should be first after the one currently at vote, but it could just be bias. Either that or a hope to give our people standard rights. Could be either.

[Shrillland]

I second the motion.
