And I respectfully would like to highlight this quote again--it certainly appears that something is being accused, which is just not true. And he did introduce the bill which was previously passed which this particular initiative seeks to redress. Perhaps that confusion is my fault for the...

Obviously, we are quickly seeing that there are numerous examples of ways of doing things that are unique to the establishment. It's unfortunate that it takes so much effort to become aware of them. In three different topics, not once has the actual position I have expressed been met with a...

We shall work from back to front on the topic at hand: Only the person controlling the debate has the standing to determine a Point of Order. Aren't you supposed to be on a temporary leave from your position anyway? And We are interested for any citation where you have standing to bring an...

We are certain that you seem to believe everything you say is true, Lois. But we also are certain the reality is not a cartoon: But still legitimate and valid under the rules laid down. We reserve the Right to Object under the Rules as they stand. And yet We searched every forum for an...

In Real appropriate Parliamentary Procedure, the "Chair" is whoever is responsible for conducting the administration of the floor debate. The Chair has No right that can be considered "In Order" to introduce New Business while functioning as the person in the Chair. The Speaker of the...

We rise to make a Point of Order: there seems to be a rash of requests in the last few days to make changes to existing law as a courtesy to certain members. ." As the Chair recently sought fit to draw our attention to the opinion of the previously mentioned member as a guide We should follow...

Good looking out. I make no excuse for a word used incorrectly. I hope your pedantic fetish applies to your own posts. Specific words have actual meanings. I did no such thing....and this point that you somehow attribute to me to some spite or malice from a completely different subject is...

so, the law of unintended consequences comes into play here? A perfectly reasonable clause in an existing law is repealed on a capricious whim, and then less than 3 months following that an exception is now a priority, despite the fact that according to the transcript of debate, the exception...

We ask leave to withdraw the resolution from table. We have serious reservations about the semantic technicalities addressed, to wit: as well as the inference that we have not done our due diligence ahead of time and the opposition to an idea that we are asking for the approval of the...

with all due respect to the esteemed member, I'd like to draw attention to a few points which contradict his assertions: A) It is not clear to us what function a standing rule with respect to non-legisaltive proposals is limited to: B) It is not clear to us how a constitutional crisis which...

I beg leave of the chair for permission to lay a proposal on the table

the RP's in question were dispatches I wrote and then later copied onto the RMB. But I've gone back through some of the ones I thought were good, and decided they aren't really character driven RP. So I will reserve my submissions for now. But I appreciate the answer as to how I should...

I'm asking for clarification on 2 points---must the RP nominated be something originally posted on the Forum, or can it be something posted as a message on the RMB, and can the RP'er nominate them-self? thanks.
