Bill: Response to the ILA Civil Rights Bill
Details
Submitted by[?]: Fasces Arma Parti
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: September 3101
Description[?]:
| This is your alternative to the bill created by the ILA. Note that the last article was added because the ILA demanded we change this bill description because it spoke of them in a poor way. No investigation was carried out as to whether they are satanists or not and we were not given a fair trial to defend our freedom of speech. This bill will basically legalize the preceeding events. |

| Message | "The FAP will indeed abide by the Code of Address and refrain from any slander or impolite dialog in this session, they are formally warned.

| Message | Mr. Speaker, We, the FAP, apologize for our misconduct. The description was written by a party member who was censured. We will change the content of our bill, however, we ask you... is this not an attack on our freedom of speech? A bill was rejected in this very Diet because it rejected the freedom of speech guarenteed by the Luthori government. We ask for a conclusion, is slander legal? especially against government members? I hesitantly yield. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, The EAP opposes. What goes on in a bedroom is of no business of the socialist state. I yield |
| Date | 13:04:36, April 05, 2011 CET | From | Constitutionalist Imperial League (IA) | To | Debating the Response to the ILA Civil Rights Bill |
| Message | "I will answer the FAP as they have legitimately asked for clarification on an important issue. The current laws of Luthori are on display for everyone to see and may or may not restrict freedom of speech. However, freedom of speech as a right is protected by the Common Bill of Rights, so the Imperial Court of Law (Supreme Court) may choose to strike down laws that prevent freedom of speech. However, the Holy Imperial Diet is subject to different rules because of its sacred nature. Within the confines of the Diet, the Code of Address must at all times be observed and I as Lord Chamberlain am entitled to have the Sergeant-at-Arms throw anyone who does not respect said rules out of the Diet. I hope this answers the FAP's query." -The Lord Chamberlain |
| Date | 03:42:12, April 06, 2011 CET | From | Conservative Values Party | To | Debating the Response to the ILA Civil Rights Bill |
| Message | Mr Speaker, This law reaks of Jim Crow, and would open up the doors of SUE-FEST. No sir, not THIS party! I Yield |
