I'm nitpicking here, but it should say "6 abstentions registered" instead of "6 abstains registered".

Nay on SLA
“It is the ultimate irony of history that radical individualism serves as the ideological justification of the unconstrained power of what the large majority of individuals experience as a vast anonymous power, which, without any democratic public control, regulates their lives.”

Since the Universal Healthcare Act [Modified] and the Public Education Act both deal with government-run services available to the public, I motion they be ommnibussed into the Public Services Act.

As the Electricity Production Act and Energy for the Future Act both deal with the environmental safety and sustainability of our nation's energy supply, I motion they be omnibussed into the Energy Production Act.


I proposed this a while back and it got as far as getting sixthed. I'm not sure how many approvals are necessary to make an omnibus bill, however.

Oh great, this damn bill again. Can we please stop trying to pass the SLA? It's just wasting time which could be used for much more important legislation.

What happened to the Provisional Criminal Code? You know, the resolution that criminalized murder while we worked on actually passing laws that focused on a comprehensive penal code and code of criminal justice?

That's why I said "both of you".

Two wrongs don't make a right, and seriously, you both need to calm down.
