Resistance is the only path to freedom under tyranny. Power to the people and down with those who would subvert their will. In the name of justice, we must fight.

Seeing as this was the second time someone had tried to introduce a new motion to amend and it had gotten a second in the timespan it took the House to go over procedural stuff for the Candidate Site Amendment Nez threw a sarcastic inflection to her typically flat, "Aye."
