    <+IH> There needs to be some constant to life that we can hold onto, something extremely difficult to find if we are constantly on the move.
    <@Vidarr> I hold onto the constant of change
    <+IH> How delightfully paradoxical.

    <@IH> Omega also suits you, it’s the symbol for electrical resistance.
    <@Delta> Are you saying I'm slow? :P
    <@IH> You were a component (see what I did there?) of the resistance in Wintreath, were you not?

    I really don't see the need for this. Repealing the Constitution is, in essence, unconstitutional. By repealing the document, we are violating the rights granted to the citizens of Wintreath under said Constitution.

  • This is a vote, not a debate.

    However, I feel that this addresses the issue of repealing the Fundamental Laws by making it harder to achieve. Although I think the root-cause of this amendment is an obvious no-threat, it's worth considering in the case of take-over.

  • The Chair wishes to remind The Honourable Weissreich that any form of debate on this belongs in the debate topic. The Chair also wishes to note that any votes of "Nay" are allowed a short summary of why they are against the bill, as requested by the citizens of Wintreath last term.

    With 4 in support, and 1 against, the vote has achieved the supermajority required to pass. It will now go to the Overhusen for a supermajority vote.
