| Message | This would mean that the representatives of the majority would be allowed to disobey the rules, while the opposition representatives would not. We, as part of the governing majority, find this deeply unethical. PS: We remind the RCA that the passing of this bill would not absolve Mr. Skanderberg from his current lawsuit, since the law that applies is the one in force when the alleged crime was commited. |
| Date | 02:05:05, July 22, 2017 CET | From | Tea Party | To | Debating the The Fredoom of Speech Act of 4244. |
| Message | This bill would bring unparalleled amounts of corruption in our government. |
| Date | 17:41:25, July 22, 2017 CET | From | Republican Centrist Alliance | To | Debating the The Fredoom of Speech Act of 4244. |
| Message | The vote to overrule immunity for a congressman is with secret ballots. So no corruption because the congressman will vote their conscience. |
