| Message | If this law don't passes with 2/3rds, it is not constitutional, and can therefor be changed with simple majority. We would agree in principal, but this law is not detailed enough. §§2 and 4 are not clear enough. They speak of penalties and "force", but the exact modes are not explained. |
