NS House of Cards - Character RP [OOC/Open/NEW]

[Waztaskio]

Why is there a Constitutionalist senator?

Technically-..he is a Independent, with ties to them.

[Mishmahig]

If Rep. Fletcher is proposing a gay marriage hill there is the gay congressman from Massachusetts who would co sponsor it.

Is he openly gay?

Ja.

[Britanno]

Ja.

In that case, she'd probably approach him for a sponsorship.

[The Kingdom of Glitter]

Openly gay with a husband and the little girls. Very popular family with the liberal press.

Doesn't hurt that he's photogenic.

Oh well. It'll get shot down in the Senate, so...

Not too many republicans need to stray.

Anyone who claims to be a libertarian should support it, the Whip would have to fight like hell, who is also me and if Christie fights gay marriage he can lose New Jersey.

[The Orson Empire]

Did I miss anything?

[Britanno]

Did I miss anything?

Nothing you can't catch up on in the senate/house threads.

[Bujahla]

First Media. Two stories up.

Not going to be quite as easy as that. Not all libertarians will support it (especially if Brent makes the 'leave it to the states' argument), nor will all Democrats support it -- especially those from the blue states. Christie can simply do the same thing and throw up his hands and say "for the states to decide! Fight the overreaching government meddlin' in marriage!"

It'd be close, but not going to pass.

[The Grand Republic of Hannover]

Who else is Republican in the House?

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... A/htmlview

From an OOC point of view, there's only two of you.

I presume more will be RPed by the OPs (with voting and such) in some things though.

Ah I see. Well, that sucks

[Valentir]

I control what Bills go to vote right?

[Couasia]

Crazy shit going down as far as the media is concerned in the IC thread.

I know it doesn't stand a chance of passing, it's more of a statement.

[The Kingdom of Glitter]

The law Fletcher is proposing is actually giving Federal recognition to individual choices the states make, whether the state has it legal or illegal. Or so I believe.

Andrews is also weary about pulling it to a federal level because it risks the progress made in individual states.

[Couasia]

Christie has yet to respond to Jon Stewart basically calling him fat on national TV.

[The Orson Empire]

First Media. Two stories up.

Well, now the media is going to be focused on that incident that happened in the Senate.

Quit meddlin' in marriage! Leave it to the states! Quit meddlin' in marriage! Leave it to the states! Quit meddlin' in marriage! Leave it to the states!

Repeat ad nauseam.

The people and states will decide what they want; the government should make no law on the issue. *ignores all the laws it already has made on marriage*

[The Orson Empire]

It seems Jon Stewart agrees with my senator.

[The Grand Republic of Hannover]

Pretty sure we already know his response

*Meanwhile in the House*

[Britanno]

Can we save the debate for when the bill is actually presented to the floor?

Is this good?

[Valentir]

So some fat jokes and prayer objections are being reported instead of the shooting in Tucson? If the Media can be so easily distracted then this only makes my job easier.
