| Message | M. Speaker, This bill is still a mess. The issues aren't connected. How do curfews and parliamentary privilege belong in the same bill? Why change where executions occur when they're not even allowed? This bill needs to be broken up into multiple smaller bills. Noctos Moctos URP Leader |
| Date | 14:10:23, July 02, 2015 CET | From | Metzian Party of Lodamun | To | Debating the Judicial Reform Act of 3869 (Amended) |
| Message | M.Speaker, I do not think it is extremely necessary to break up the bill in to smaller ones.But i do think Article 3 is not making sense at all.And we also oppose Article 2.Able bodied prisoners must work,not only they are paying their debt to the society for what they have done,it helps them a lot from recovering from their past and to move towards success. Tony Leader of UDHFU |

| Message | M. Speaker The ECA doesn't agree with article 5, so we will unfortunately have to oppose this bill. David Butterman Vice President of Lodamun Eastern-Central Alliance |
| Date | 04:53:09, July 03, 2015 CET | From | Social Labor Coalition | To | Debating the Judicial Reform Act of 3869 (Amended) |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, To address the ECA, we believe the shift from local curfews to national curfews is necessary as a means to more efficiently maintain safety and humanitarian distribution if a disaster struck nationwide. However, we will make sure that this state of emergency would be called only in the most dire situations, such as during war or natural disaster of monolithic proportions.
