There was nothing conclusive Senator. The Hut... I mean the perpatrators covered their tracks of slime very well unfortunately.

Someone get Senator Lady Belligerent a lolipop please. Smile already.

 

Do you have some topics to discuss, Senator Lady Belligerent?

Being apart of a Senate means that we need to work together to help solve each others concerns. Otherwise we wouldn't be a very democratic or good government Senator.

Has anything interesting of note come up in regards to the investigation, or any tips that have come in? Anything suspicious?

 

My Lady,

Nope. . They were followed by Spec-Op agents to a private docking bay. Upon further investigating the docking bay was registered to...Senator Sinrebirth himself. Can you explain this sir?

OOC: Real life politics will not be brought into the thread like that. So leave things like that in our Politics thread in JC.

 

OOC: contemplates the meaning of the phrase "ignorance is bliss."

Senator Lady Belligerent has mentioned on several occasions about systems handling certain government issues on their own. Before I leave office, I believe that we should have a serious discussion about this very topic. Does the Galactic Senate have too much power to dictate to the New Republic's various systems about certain issues? I believe weeding through this topic will help streamline future debate on what is appropriate for us to mandate on the New Republic's systems. Perhaps we merely guide instead of legislate certain things. As for Senator TheSilentInfluence 's slavery bill, I felt that it was important for the New Republic as a whole. Perhaps crafting a constitution or a Senate Governance Bill is the way to go.

 

Anyone else have an opinion?

 

Not at the moment no.

 

I support the rights of individual worlds, and believe the powers of this body ought to be few.
On that matter I and Senator Belligerent agree.

But applying that principle to slavery simply goes to far.

 

I believe in certain fundamental human rights senator. The Right to Life, the Right to Liberty, and the Right for individuals to pursue happiness. I am a Populist, and I support the rights of the systems in many aspects of policy.
But no planet, system, or party has the right to violate those fundamental rights.

And I have already made my stance clear, that as Slavery violates all three of those rights, I have a moral obligation to stand firmly against it regardless of my belief in the rights of systems above this central authority.

Preserving sentience freedom is a core duty of this body, and I voted in favor of the Anti slavery bill accordingly.

 

OOC: Just been reading EE. Interesting to note that they consider droids to be sentient. At least semi. I may be reading wrong, but I don't think so. Hmmm...

Elections I should think, it is about that time isn't it?

 

Yes I believe so. Chancellor Darth_Furio when will they begin?

 

According to the rules, I believe elections are to occur on the first of the month with the two days before for the process. So, I have a few days before I run for re-election.

With that in mind, I do have a situation that I must speak to. While at my summer home on Dantooine, there wan an attempt on my life. *Stares at the Hutt.* Anakin.Skywalker Thankfully, my Cor-Sec Spec-Ops team thwarted the plan. However, the perpatrators escaped and so as this is the seceond attempt on members of the Senate, I believe we should discuss laying the foundation of a permanent security force dedicated to members of the senate. You all have your personal staffs, I understand that, but I believe in these uncertain times and with the new threats we face, we should expand the military budget to inculde a Senate Security Force. Senator Sinrebirth was maimed and now I, the Chancellor, have been attacked. I ask that one of you esteemed Senators discuss this and craft a bill that we create the SSF!
