  14. 16:13 Scott Is Blair or Yankee coming?
  15. 16:13 HSTruman I think Blair plans to drop in
  16. 16:13 NeverAgain Blair will likely
  17. 16:13 NeverAgain but in any case, he delegated me to represent presidential interests
  18. 16:14 NeverAgain CONFLICT OF INTEREST deeply disturbing.
  19. 16:14 NeverAgain okay
  20. 16:14 TedBessell leinad ought to be in here at some point
  21. 16:14 NeverAgain scott
  22. 16:14 NeverAgain can you grab the marijuana bill
  23. 16:14 NeverAgain he will I assume.
  24. 16:14 TedBessell i suppose i'm the leading fed here lol
  25. 16:14 NeverAgain PiT 2!
  26. 16:14 NeverAgain also
  27. 16:14 Scott Sure, lemme pass the blunt, er bill
  28. 16:14 NeverAgain since we have a major lab (or leaning)
  29. 16:14 NeverAgain I want to get unanimous approval if we can
  30. 16:15 PiT1 x PiT
  31. 16:15 NeverAgain to ensure that all sides are represented fairly
  32. 16:15 PiT1 I had to go do something really quickly
  33. 16:15 NeverAgain np
  34. 16:15 PiT1 but I'm back now
  35. 16:15 Scott http://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=245326.msg5264710#msg5264710 Here's the version we passed.
  36. 16:15 NeverAgain okay folks
  37. 16:15 HSTruman As a reminder, if the House amends the original bill, it must be passed again by the Senate
  38. 16:16 Scott Indeed.
  39. 16:16 NeverAgain Joint Congressional Bill 1001 is now open for debate.
  40. 16:16 RepSG What is the current precedence about the power of federal and regional governments?
  41. 16:16 Scott So I don't believe the Senate would have to pass the bill again even though it's from two sessions ago, correct?
  42. 16:16 HSTruman correct
  43. 16:17 NeverAgain correct
  44. 16:17 NeverAgain but again
  45. 16:17 Goldwater Well, this bill seems pretty straightforward.
  46. 16:17 RepSG Because I don't know if this should be a federal issue
  47. 16:17 PiT1 well there are federal drug laws
  48. 16:17 NeverAgain ^
  49. 16:17 HSTruman As the person currently in charge of enforcing federal drug laws, I support this bill
  50. 16:17 PiT1 this is decriminalizing it federally
  51. 16:17 Scott Well, the bill reschedules pot.
  52. 16:18 RepSG Could the individual regions choose to maintain the prohibition?
  53. 16:18 Scott Yes.
  54. 16:18 PiT1 regions reserve the right to do otherwise
  55. 16:18 RepSG Alright then I've got no issue with it.
  56. 16:18 TedBessell i have no problem with this whatsoever
  57. 16:18 Scott But by passing this, the feds won't be able to intrude on regions that have legalized it, which the North and I believe the South have done.
  58. 16:18 TedBessell ofc
  59. 16:18 Goldwater ^
  60. 16:18 Goldwater (Ted)
  61. 16:18 PiT1 I support the bill as is
  62. 16:19 RepSG What about regions that haven't legalized or, have decided to enforce the prohibition again?
  63. 16:19 Scott I assume it would vary by state.
  64. 16:19 RepSG But the legislation wouldn't conflict with that?
  65. 16:19 Scott I think we still have imaginary "states" with non-playable legislatures.
  66. 16:20 RepSG Hypothetically if the South decided to criminalize it again
  67. 16:20 Scott Remember, the bill doesn't legalize it nationwide.
  68. 16:20 RepSG This legislation wouldn't prevent that?
  69. 16:20 Sirena So basically this is just saying no one will be brought to federal court for pot related things?
  70. 16:20 Scott Correct.
  71. 16:20 NeverAgain it's taking things off the federal books
  72. 16:20 TedBessell so, to summarize
  73. 16:20 NeverAgain not adding on to the regional ones.
  74. 16:20 Scott And regions can't be forced to do anything either way.
  75. 16:20 HSTruman Scott I think we still have imaginary "states" with non-playable legislatures. <-- Per the GM, this is correct
  76. 16:21 TedBessell it just says the feds won't act and delegating it to the regions to do as they please
  77. 16:21 Scott All right.
  78. 16:21 PiT1 my only reservation
  79. 16:21 NeverAgain It's just saying "hey DEA stop it.:
  80. 16:21 RepSG Okay I've got no problem with this
  81. 16:21 PiT1 and it's a small one
  82. 16:21 PiT1 is that decriminalizing this might be the prerogative of the executive
  83. 16:21 PiT1 not sure on that point
  84. 16:21 TedBessell hm
  85. 16:21 HSTruman Hmm...
  86. 16:22 Scott I think either the Congress or the executive makes that call, but the bill would make it harder for the president to undo rescheduling.
  87. 16:23 Scott Suppose Blair reschedules, but a President Classic Conservative (God forbid) repeals the executive order.
  88. 16:23 HSTruman Personally, I would rather that power lay with the legislature anyways
  89. 16:23 NeverAgain ^
  90. 16:23 TedBessell lol
  91. 16:23 HSTruman ^
  92. 16:23 TedBessell this does seem like something that should be enshrined to me
  93. 16:23 HSTruman agreed
  94. 16:24 RepSG I think that we should still give the executive that option though
  95. 16:24 PiT1 if the executive does not complain then that does commend the bill
  96. 16:24 TedBessell whether you go to jail or not shouldn't depend on who's in power
  97. 16:24 RepSG We shouldn't be neutering the power of the executive branch
  98. 16:24 Sirena Yeah I think the legislature can have input on how things are enforced
  99. 16:24 PiT1 ^
  100. 16:24 PiT1 (RepSG)
  101. 16:24 NeverAgain should this go up for renewal?
  102. 16:24 Scott So you want to remove scheduling powers from the executive altogether?
  103. 16:24 NeverAgain sunset period?
  104. 16:24 Scott @RepSG*
  105. 16:24 Scott #RepSG
  106. 16:24 TedBessell that makes sense NeverAgain
  107. 16:25 NeverAgain my amendment
  108. 16:25 NeverAgain if i were to make one
  109. 16:25 HSTruman Given that this bill would require the president's signature, I don't think this can be termed "neutering the executive"
  110. 16:25 RepSG I don't think we should remove scheduling powers from the executive
  111. 16:25 RepSG True ^
  112. 16:25 NeverAgain would be to have a 6 month reauthorization period from the Congress.
  113. 16:25 PiT1 it would neuter future executives, though
  114. 16:25 Scott Yeah, but it would prevent future presidents from undoing it without Congress.
  115. 16:25 TedBessell yes, i think six is reasonable
  116. 16:25 PiT1 also it might be vetoed and pass on an override
  117. 16:25 RepSG But how would this effect successive administrations?
  118. 16:25 PiT1 being hypothetical
  119. 16:25 TedBessell if we have the sunset period
  120. 16:26 TedBessell each new executive has to re-commend the scheduling
  121. 16:26 NeverAgain if we want to assure that it will be not solely with the executive.
  122. 16:26 Scott Why do you want to sunset it?
  123. 16:26 NeverAgain I am suggesting that as an alternative
  124. 16:26 NeverAgain so that the legislature has the power on renewal
  125. 16:26 NeverAgain versus the president.
  126. 16:27 Scott So the legislature would be required to reassess the drug codes every six months, NeverAgain...?
  127. 16:27 Scott Er, Congress.
  128. 16:27 irc.uk.mibbit.net Peebs invited dfwlibertylover into the channel.
  129. 16:27 NeverAgain no... just this bill.
  130. 16:27 NeverAgain on the scheduling of marijuana.
  131. 16:27 Scott I don't see why that would be necessary.
  132. 16:27 irc.uk.mibbit.net TedBessell invited dfwlibertylover into the channel.
  133. 16:27 HSTruman I don't think introducing that kind of uncertainty is a good thing
  134. 16:28 NeverAgain well if the worry is that it would change corresponding to the president
  135. 16:28 Sirena I'm not sure what the point of the bill would be if we added that part
  136. 16:28 Goldwater Yeah, I don't like that idea
  137. 16:28 HSTruman Especially since this bill also legalized the sale of maijuana
  138. 16:28 NeverAgain k. it's just a thought.
  139. 16:28 Sirena ugh my mouse is dying
  140. 16:28 NeverAgain it does?
  141. 16:28 NeverAgain the sale?
  142. 16:28 TedBessell ouch Sirena
  143. 16:28 Goldwater Where does it say that?
  144. 16:28 NeverAgain ^
  145. 16:28 RepSG ^
  146. 16:29 HSTruman 3. No region, state, territory, or locality shall be required to prosecute the possession or sale of marijuana.
  147. 16:29 NeverAgain but is that federally legalizing?
  148. 16:29 Scott Yeah, again, it's neutral toward regional powers.
  149. 16:29 HSTruman So not strict legalization per se, but opening the door for it
  150. 16:29 RepSG As long as we maintain the power of the regions, this is acceptable
  151. 16:29 Sirena its legal in the South. not sure about other regions
  152. 16:29 PiT1 federal plays no part
  153. 16:30 PiT1 but the regions can do whatever with it
  154. 16:30 HSTruman okay
  155. 16:30 Scott It would be legal federally, but not necessarily in the state you take your hits in.
  156. 16:30 NeverAgain I see that less as a legalization and as a regional thing on sec. 3.
  157. 16:30 NeverAgain anyways
  158. 16:30 NeverAgain are we all good house?
  159. 16:30 NeverAgain any other comments or thoughts before we move to a vote.
  160. 16:30 Sirena are people typically tried in federal courts for this?
  161. 16:30 *** dfwlibertylover joined #SuperCongress
  162. 16:30 +++ ChanServ has given op to dfwlibertylover
  163. 16:30 dfwlibertylover 13:30 dfwlibertylover I am not a member of the House people

  167. 16:31 NeverAgain yes.

  169. 16:31 dfwlibertylover mike is a low energy loser
  170. 16:31 Scott That's... not legal, I don't think.

  181. 16:31 Scott All right, hope that's Constitutional.
  182. 16:31 NeverAgain sounds good
  183. 16:31 HSTruman It is
  184. 16:31 NeverAgain the constitution puts it unto the house rules
  185. 16:32 HSTruman Per Article III, Congress has the power to establish and amend its rules
  186. 16:32 NeverAgain ^
  187. 16:32 Scott Oh, okay. Good to go, then.

  353. 16:46 NeverAgain okay
  354. 16:46 Leinad I propose we make some sort of thing for this
  355. 16:46 NeverAgain http://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=247196.0
  356. 16:46 *** RepSG quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
  357. 16:46 NeverAgain this is the bill that is currently in the house
  358. 16:46 NeverAgain Okay
  359. 16:46 NeverAgain reupdate
  360. 16:46 Leinad like, a Committee To Figure Out What The Fuck To Do About The Abortion Bill
  361. 16:46 Peebs RIPSG
  362. 16:46 HSTruman Why on earth were both houses debating and amending the same bill simultaneously?
  363. 16:46 NeverAgain because both tmth and clark
  364. 16:46 Peebs endorsed leinad
  365. 16:46 NeverAgain sponsored it
  366. 16:46 Leinad probably no one told them not to?
  367. 16:46 NeverAgain inside their own houses
  368. 16:46 HSTruman Agh!
  369. 16:47 NeverAgain so now we are at square -923
  370. 16:47 TedBessell um
  371. 16:47 TedBessell um
  372. 16:47 TedBessell .
  373. 16:47 Scott So now these bills don't even have a sponsor.
  374. 16:47 --- Goldwater is back
  375. 16:47 Peebs gooa pick up the mail brb
  376. 16:47 Peebs *gotta
  377. 16:47 --- Peebs is away (mail)
  378. 16:47 NorthernGovernor 24th week sounds a little too much
  379. 16:47 NeverAgain they have clark and tmth as sponsors still
  380. 16:47 HSTruman 16:47 Scott So now these bills don't even have a sponsor.
  381. 16:47 HSTruman Aren't they dead, then?
  382. 16:48 Leinad surely not?
  383. 16:48 NeverAgain no
  384. 16:48 Sirena Anyone can sponsor if they want
  385. 16:48 NeverAgain they have clark and tmth as sponsors still
  386. 16:48 Scott Unless someone else takes them up, which I would advise against even if you support the bill because it's such a clusterfuck.
  387. 16:48 NeverAgain i understand
  388. 16:48 NeverAgain but they still are being held
  389. 16:48 HSTruman Right, but isn't there some rule that if there is no sponsor for a week, the bill is tabled?
  390. 16:48 NeverAgain because house rules have them that sponsors cannot still be there
  391. 16:48 HSTruman That's how it was in the old Senate, anyways
  392. 16:48 NeverAgain but does senate
  393. 16:48 Scott Shit, I don't have the rules in front of me.
  394. 16:48 NeverAgain so tmth is still sponsor then?
  395. 16:48 NeverAgain I haz house rules
  396. 16:48 NeverAgain but wait
  397. 16:49 NeverAgain I didn't suspend that part
  398. 16:49 NeverAgain so it still stands
  399. 16:49 NeverAgain anyways
  400. 16:49 NeverAgain I say let's just put that off for a special committee
  401. 16:49 NeverAgain for a tomorrow leg.
  402. 16:49 TedBessell yeah
  403. 16:49 Scott The abortion bill?
  404. 16:49 NeverAgain yeh
  405. 16:49 NorthernGovernor actually this bill is not good
  406. 16:49 Scott Okay.
  407. 16:49 TedBessell we have more important things to do than procedural crap
  408. 16:49 NeverAgain it's either dead
  409. 16:49 HSTruman I'm starting to agree w/ Scott that the best course would be to reject the current bill and start over
  410. 16:49 *** Classic joined #SuperCongress
  411. 16:49 +++ ChanServ has given op to Classic
  412. 16:50 NeverAgain or it's scraping for life.

  490. 16:56 HSTruman NeverAgain, do we want to move ahead with the Constitutional Amendments now?
  491. 16:56 Goldwater I think NeverAgain's goal is to make everything unanimous
  492. 16:56 NeverAgain I was thinking so
  493. 16:56 NeverAgain just to get them outta the way
  494. 16:56 HSTruman The Virginia Amendment has passed the Senate and is being debated by the House
  495. 16:56 NeverAgain yep

  534. 16:59 NorthernGovernor
  535. 16:59 Goldwater I don't know if I really like the idea of a 7 member house.
  536. 16:59 Leinad okay, I'll keep quiet
  537. 16:59 NeverAgain hang*
  538. 16:59 Classic I'm not going to we have the other chat for that

  544. 17:00 +++ ChanServ has given op to Virginia

  546. 17:00 Peebs ^ (sg)
  547. 17:00 Peebs hi virginia
  548. 17:00 NeverAgain hey virginia
  549. 17:00 Scott Hey Virginia
  550. 17:00 RepSG We should be focusing on recruitment and bringing new folks in rather than removing positions and seats
  551. 17:00 Virginia hey
  552. 17:00 NeverAgain http://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=252977.msg5418434#msg5418434
  553. 17:00 RepSG If this is an issue of population and activity
  554. 17:00 NeverAgain this is the bill the house (and senate) are debating
  555. 17:00 Virginia i'd like to offer thoughts on activity
  556. 17:00 Scott Recruitment is easier said than done.
  557. 17:00 HSTruman Quite true
  558. 17:01 TedBessell yes
  559. 17:01 RepSG I have an idea on the subject of recruitment
  560. 17:01 Virginia Can't we get stickies in high traffic areas that we can light up once in a while, particularly close to elections?
  561. 17:01 HSTruman Even so, I don't think we're quite at the point where we need to be cutting House seats
  562. 17:01 RepSG But I'll save it for a more appropraite time
  563. 17:01 Virginia high traffic forums*
  564. 17:01 Scott IIRC, the last time Atlasia had a recruitment effort is when some troll decided to go to Stormfront and ask them to join in. I'm dead serious.
  565. 17:01 HSTruman We've had four elections for the HoR so far
  566. 17:01 Virginia lmao scott
  567. 17:01 HSTruman all 4 have been competitive
  568. 17:01 RepSG ^ Truman
  569. 17:02 Peebs wow
  570. 17:02 Sirena That's a good idea, though I'm not ssure if everyone on the forum would like it
  571. 17:02 NeverAgain I was against, then for it. But considering the most recent election
  572. 17:02 NeverAgain which was decided by literally one vote
  573. 17:02 NeverAgain I am against it.
  574. 17:02 *** Classic quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
  575. 17:02 TedBessell the elections are very, very competitive
  576. 17:02 Leinad competitive, but hard to find people to run
  577. 17:02 TedBessell which is good
  578. 17:02 Leinad (behinds the scenes take)
  579. 17:02 NeverAgain of course
  580. 17:02 Scott Yeah, and most House members don't campaign.
  581. 17:02 HSTruman ^
  582. 17:02 NeverAgain ^
  583. 17:02 TedBessell lowkey we had a hard time filling our slate out last cycle
  584. 17:02 Scott Or all the candidates pour in at the last minute. It's a shitty way of doing things.
  585. 17:02 NeverAgain the same for us
  586. 17:02 TedBessell seems like you did too
  587. 17:03 NeverAgain yeh
  588. 17:03 NeverAgain it really is
  589. 17:03 TedBessell we almost had vacancies
  590. 17:03 NeverAgain but I don't think 7 members will really help.
  591. 17:03 NeverAgain like.
  592. 17:03 TedBessell which is bad
  593. 17:03 NeverAgain I understand the rationale
  594. 17:03 NeverAgain but 9 is a good number
  595. 17:03 Scott Since we're on the subject, Virginia, you should consider running for House.
  596. 17:03 NeverAgain ^^^
  597. 17:03 HSTruman ^
  598. 17:03 RepSG ^
  599. 17:03 Goldwater ^
  600. 17:03 Peebs ^

  602. 17:03 Virginia lol
  603. 17:03 Virginia idk
  604. 17:03 Peebs or better yet, president
  605. 17:03 Virginia i'm not very invested
  606. 17:03 Peebs virginia/peebs 2017
  607. 17:03 Scott aw
  608. 17:03 NeverAgain neither is like half the nation
  609. 17:04 NeverAgain or congress
  610. 17:04 NeverAgain aka the ones thataren't here
  611. 17:04 Peebs you'll fit right in
  612. 17:04 Leinad yep
  613. 17:04 Virginia when i joined up i was feeling spry and active but i kept coming back and it seemed really dead
  614. 17:04 Virginia i get the vicious circle thing here
  615. 17:04 Virginia but still
  616. 17:04 --- Goldwater is away (Away)
  617. 17:04 Leinad exactly
  618. 17:04 TedBessell yes
  619. 17:04 Leinad that's the problem with activity
  620. 17:04 NeverAgain okay
  621. 17:04 NeverAgain on the bill
  622. 17:04 Leinad inactivity breeds more inactivity
  623. 17:04 NeverAgain any other thoughts?
  624. 17:05 HSTruman None from me
  625. 17:05 TedBessell on the bill?
  626. 17:05 NeverAgain yes the one we are debating
  627. 17:05 NeverAgain http://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=252977.msg5418434#msg5418434
  628. 17:05 Leinad House seat reduction?
  629. 17:05 NeverAgain http://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=252977.msg5418434#msg5418434
  630. 17:05 TedBessell i'm neutral, but it seems like things will work out fine either way
  631. 17:05 NeverAgain ye
  632. 17:05 Leinad make it 8
  633. 17:05 *** Leinad quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
  634. 17:05 TedBessell which points me towards not making unnecessary changes
  635. 17:05 NeverAgain k.
  636. 17:05 RepSG What I want to know however
  637. 17:05 Peebs RleInadP
  638. 17:05 RepSG Is if it does pass, will we cut two seated representatives out?
  639. 17:06 NeverAgain no
  640. 17:06 NeverAgain it will take effect the next cycle
  641. 17:06 NeverAgain I believe
  642. 17:06 TedBessell i assume it would take effect after the nect election
  643. 17:06 RepSG Okay cool
  644. 17:06 RepSG Because the text doesn't specify
  645. 17:06 NeverAgain every thing is assumed to be post facto
  646. 17:06 *** Leinad joined #SuperCongress
  647. 17:06 +++ ChanServ has given op to Leinad
  648. 17:06 NeverAgain every thing is assumed to be post facto
  649. 17:06 NeverAgain ugh
  650. 17:06 NeverAgain shit
  651. 17:06 TedBessell the thing about an 8-seat house is that because elections have been razor-close recently
  652. 17:06 Sirena I mean it's not just a question about activity eeither. There's other parts to it like... would a member house be better or worse than a 9 member house
  653. 17:06 NeverAgain truman
  654. 17:06 Scott I don't think it would be constitutional to arbitrarily change the number of seats mid-session, anyway.
  655. 17:06 TedBessell we would probably have a tied house
  656. 17:06 Peebs wb LIEnad
  657. 17:06 TedBessell a lot
  658. 17:06 Leinad make it 8 and let the VP tiebreak
  659. 17:07 Sirena 7 member*
  660. 17:07 Virginia even-seated chamber doesn't seem like a good idea
  661. 17:07 --- Goldwater is back
  662. 17:07 Leinad thus Making The VP Relevant Again (but not again because lol)
  663. 17:07 HSTruman An even number of House seats is a really bad idea, to be frank
  664. 17:07 NeverAgain ^^
  665. 17:07 Scott So just so we're clear, senators don't vote on this?
  666. 17:07 HSTruman Leave it at 9, or go to 7
  667. 17:07 NeverAgain okay
  668. 17:07 NeverAgain let's talk
  669. 17:07 NeverAgain I really want senators to vote
  670. 17:07 NeverAgain so it can be joint
  671. 17:07 Goldwater I think we should just keep it 9.
  672. 17:07 HSTruman Also, THE HOUSE CANNOT PROPOSE AMENDMENTS ON THIS BILL
  673. 17:07 NeverAgain but whatever you guys think
  674. 17:07 Scott All right.
  675. 17:07 Sirena With 7, there will be less people to debate and it would only take 4 people to pass a bill
  676. 17:07 RepSG #WeNeedNine
  677. 17:08 HSTruman lol
  678. 17:08 TedBessell the more i think about it the more i like keeping it at nine
  679. 17:08 Leinad I saw how hard it was to get 5 people to run as good as anyone did
  680. 17:08 Scott I think nine is good, too.
  681. 17:08 NeverAgain nine is fine
  682. 17:08 Leinad while I doubt moving it to 7 would solve problems
  683. 17:08 NeverAgain nifty nine
  684. 17:08 RepSG So, vote?
  685. 17:08 NeverAgain unsexy seven
  686. 17:08 NeverAgain okaydoodle
  687. 17:08 Leinad it would be slightly better in that regard, in my (apparently unpopular) opinion
  688. 17:09 NeverAgain but on the issue of senators voting in house
  689. 17:09 NeverAgain and house voting in senate
  690. 17:09 Scott Sex-ty nine baby
  691. 17:09 NeverAgain do we want that
  692. 17:09 Peebs 69 representatives?
  693. 17:09 TedBessell i support raising the number of senators to 69
  694. 17:09 NeverAgain and I'll just tally in the house vote
  695. 17:09 Scott Aww yeah
  696. 17:09 TedBessell and the number of representatives to 420
  697. 17:09 NeverAgain and senate vote
  698. 17:09 Peebs we don't have that many atlasians so
  699. 17:09 HSTruman I don't think it's Constitutional for the Senators to vote in the House, or vice versa
  700. 17:09 NeverAgain or just leave it only house on house bills and vice versa
  701. 17:09 TedBessell screw it
  702. 17:09 Scott Let's go with the Abraham Washington proposal of having more House seats than active forum posters.
  703. 17:09 NeverAgain well the relationship between the senate has been suspended
  704. 17:09 TedBessell if every atlasian brings four friends we can meet quorum
  705. 17:10 HSTruman Y'all could vote at once, but tally the votes separately
  706. 17:10 Peebs agreed scott
  707. 17:10 NeverAgain that's what I was doing
  708. 17:10 Sirena lol
  709. 17:10 NeverAgain sound good?
  710. 17:10 NeverAgain okay
  711. 17:10 HSTruman In this case, however, only the House needs to vote
  712. 17:10 HSTruman since this version of the bill already passed the Senate
  713. 17:10 NeverAgain I mean for like new leg
  714. 17:11 NeverAgain like house and senate vote together
  715. 17:11 NeverAgain on these sessions
  716. 17:11 NeverAgain anyways
  717. 17:11 NeverAgain we can figure that out later
  718. 17:11 HSTruman Right, makes sense
  719. 17:11 NeverAgain OKAY
  720. 17:11 Leinad if there's a way to do that Constitutionally
  721. 17:11 Leinad I'm totally for it
  722. 17:11 RepSG What if we had one representative
  723. 17:11 Scott It all has to be open and transparent, which NeverAgain is making sure of.
  724. 17:12 Leinad ^^^^^
  725. 17:12 NeverAgain VOTE ON HB 1069 "The House Seat Reduction Act" - Sponsor Clyde1998 - Vote Aye [ ], Nay [ ] or abstain (loser) [ ]
  726. 17:12 NeverAgain leinad
  727. 17:12 NeverAgain art 3 gives the power to congress to delegate in the rules
  728. 17:12 Scott Aye.
  729. 17:12 NeverAgain so
  730. 17:12 NeverAgain I suspended the rules
  731. 17:12 RepSG Nay
  732. 17:12 NeverAgain some*
  733. 17:12 TedBessell Nay
  734. 17:12 NeverAgain Nay

  736. 17:12 Peebs Nay

  742. 17:13 NeverAgain someone get PiT back
  743. 17:13 NeverAgain while I do my thing
  744. 17:13 HSTruman 6-0 in favor in the House
  745. 17:14 HSTruman Scratch that... 0-6 *against* in the House
  746. 17:14 Peebs lol
  747. 17:14 HSTruman Knew it was one of the two
  748. 17:14 Goldwater lol
  749. 17:14 Peebs dirty harry trying to pass bills against the house's will. sad!
  750. 17:14 HSTruman I *did* promise bribes and threats
  751. 17:14 PiT1 hello
  752. 17:15 HSTruman but rigging the vote is easier
  753. 17:16 NeverAgain by 6 (7, Senate) - 0 (1, Senate). This fails.
  754. 17:16 NeverAgain and goes back to the Senate
  755. 17:16 Leinad Leinad silently mutters that 8 is best, followed by 7, and the House made a mistake on this...
  756. 17:16 NeverAgain right

  825. 17:19 NeverAgain we killed the amended version
  826. 17:19 HSTruman The House passed the original version
  827. 17:19 Llr Honestly I doubt I can be help
  828. 17:19 Scott Ohhhh
  829. 17:19 NeverAgain not the first one we passed
  830. 17:19 HSTruman but rejected the amended Senate version
  831. 17:19 NeverAgain one sec
  832. 17:19 NeverAgain scott can you do the newest senate number
  833. 17:19 NeverAgain like I did so we can sexify transparency.

  835. 17:19 Scott Which Senate number?
  836. 17:19 NeverAgain ugh

  854. 17:21 Scott Aye.
  855. 17:21 PiT1 Aye
  856. 17:21 TedBessell probably just a spotty connection

  869. 17:22 Leinad AYE
  870. 17:23 HSTruman FYI, Article IX requires a 2/3 vote to pass Constitutional amendments, so unless LLR votes AYE, this will fail

  909. 17:25 --- Peebs is away (congressional recess tinkle break)
  910. 17:26 HSTruman In case I'm not back at 5:30, a reminder:
  911. 17:26 HSTruman 17:23 HSTruman FYI, Article IX requires a 2/3 vote to pass Constitutional amendments, so unless LLR votes AYE, this will fail
  912. 17:26 HSTruman *referring to the House seats amendment
  913. 17:27 NeverAgain but I guess what qualifies as a quorum.
  914. 17:27 Sirena this joint session doesn't seem like a good time to hve votes on con. aamendments then
  915. 17:27 NeverAgain okay
  916. 17:27 NeverAgain then let's just say it's back in the senate
  917. 17:27 --- Peebs is back

  961. 17:31 NeverAgain sure.
  962. 17:31 NeverAgain there are a few house ones
  963. 17:31 TedBessell it's best to just set a date where you know a lot of people can be there
  964. 17:31 NeverAgain yeh
  965. 17:31 TedBessell instead of trying to make it work for everyone
  966. 17:31 NeverAgain this was pretty improptu
  967. 17:31 Leinad sure

  970. 17:32 NeverAgain I thank everyone for being here tho

  1331. 23:13:43: <neveragain> last thing
  1332. 23:13:51: <neveragain> I want to just get this by both houses
  1333. 23:13:52: <Peebs> ok it doesn't roll off the tongue that well but
  1334. 23:13:56: <neveragain> with all suggestions concluded
  1335. 23:13:56: <neveragain> http://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=253407.0
  1336. 23:14:02: <neveragain> (I'm selfish)
  1337. 23:14:11: <neveragain> but the other two are constitutional amendments
  1338. 23:14:17: <neveragain> and things that are coming back
  1339. 23:14:23: <neveragain> I want to make final use of the join sesion
  1340. 23:14:26: <neveragain> session*
  1341. 23:14:38: <neveragain> HB 1063 and SB 1052.
  1342. 23:14:54: <neveragain> wowww
  1343. 23:15:09: <GOVERNORdfw> I sent LLR the bill
  1344. 23:15:11: <GOVERNORdfw> standby
  1345. 23:15:13: <neveragain> k
  1346. 23:15:23: <Goldwater> I still don't like the sin taxes you are planing to implement to pay for that bill.
  1347. 23:15:33: <GOVERNORdfw> LLR likes the bill
  1348. 23:15:36: <GOVERNORdfw> he is an AYE vote
  1349. 23:15:37: <neveragain> those will be discussed in separate legislation
  1350. 23:15:39: <neveragain> okay
  1351. 23:15:48: <neveragain> I have a balanced budget proposal
  1352. 23:15:51: <neveragain> that will come out
  1353. 23:15:57: <pit1> paying for this is pretty important, though
  1354. 23:16:06: <neveragain> but that is one factor
  1355. 23:16:14: <GOVERNORdfw> oh I have Scott on Facebook PM
  1356. 23:16:17: <GOVERNORdfw> if you need him either
  1357. 23:16:17: <pit1> I'm concerned about the prospect of passing a huge spending bill and then failing to fund it
  1358. 23:16:24: <Goldwater> But should l really vote to pass the bill if I won't vote in favor of the funding for it?
  1359. 23:16:31: <leinad> ^^^
  1360. 23:16:40: <neveragain> the partiality of the funding for it?
  1361. 23:16:41: <leinad> unless you love debt ;)
  1362. 23:16:41: <GOVERNORdfw> and you people claim facebook is useless
  1363. 23:16:49: <neveragain> tax reform will be coming up.
  1364. 23:17:01: <pit1> but the tax reform might fail
  1365. 23:17:03: <neveragain> which I think will be agreeable to even y'all
  1366. 23:17:04: <neveragain> but
  1367. 23:17:09: <neveragain> I understand that.
  1368. 23:17:11: <pit1> and then we're $800B in the hole
  1369. 23:17:29: <neveragain> but the budget hasn't been agreed to yet.
  1370. 23:17:47: <neveragain> until that is agreed to
  1371. 23:18:15: <leinad> if if's and buts were trillion-dollar programs :P
  1372. 23:18:17: <pit1> so we're okay for a short time
  1373. 23:18:21: <pit1> then BAM
  1374. 23:18:21: <neveragain> ^
  1375. 23:18:29: <neveragain> until the budget is agreed to
  1376. 23:18:30: <neveragain> again
  1377. 23:18:35: <neveragain> this can be cut out of the budget
  1378. 23:18:41: <blair2015> the GROW ACT was actually one of the acts that I didn't highlight as needing to be put through
  1379. 23:18:48: <neveragain> during budget negotiations
  1380. 23:18:57: <neveragain> I just wanted it to be looked over
  1381. 23:18:59: <neveragain> ;(
  1382. 23:19:01: <blair2015> I assumed that people would want to add amendments to it/the Senate would want to do stuff with it
  1383. 23:19:05: <pit1> I am looking it over
  1384. 23:19:05: <neveragain> pick your otherbill
  1385. 23:19:13: <neveragain> pick a quickie
  1386. 23:19:17: <blair2015> I'd rather this is used for bills that have pin ponged for a while
  1387. 23:19:18: <pit1> yeah, I can think of amendments to this
  1388. 23:19:26: <neveragain> k
  1389. 23:19:30: <neveragain> then we'll wait
  1390. 23:19:32: <neveragain> fine by me

  1394. 23:19:49: <neveragain> there's that for the senate
  1395. 23:20:05: <blair2015> that looks good, and non controversial
  1396. 23:20:32: <neveragain> sound good senators?
  1397. 23:20:45: <neveragain> there's the employees right's act
  1398. 23:21:29: <pit1> it's interesting
  1399. 23:21:50: <neveragain> ooo
  1400. 23:21:54: <neveragain> how about this
  1401. 23:21:56: <pit1> could be really cool for underdeveloped communities
  1402. 23:21:59: <neveragain> if you guys have reservations
  1403. 23:22:06: <neveragain> about the postal service one
  1404. 23:22:16: <neveragain> this is non-controversial
  1405. 23:22:16: <neveragain> http://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=253406.0
  1406. 23:22:22: <Sirena> we might be able to just bring ssome bills to vote in the government board
  1407. 23:22:24: <neveragain> and wasn't finished
  1408. 23:22:58: <neveragain> but clyde isn't here, so I am trying to get some things clearly voted on in here so he has them to put when he gets back.
  1409. 23:23:07: <neveragain> and plus scott isn't either
  1410. 23:23:30: <neveragain> okay
