Alabama Homebrew Legislation 2013

How many times are we going to call roll???

 

[BarefootFriar]

I'm kind of glad I'm not the clerk. That would be a tedious job.

 

[voltin]

It is amazing anything gets done...

Everytime someone requests something absurd I expect the clerk to sigh, hesitate, change his tone, or yell... something. Dude is ice cold.

They are doing roll call style voting each time.

I would have to be heavily medicated to deal with this circus in person. It's hard enough watching it online.

 

[CGVT]

There is frustration starting to show in his voice as well as the President's

 

[Huff360]

Yeah, the clerk is a pretty cool fellow. I spoke with him in the elevator down there one day. His tone and inflection was the same as you hear now. Like a stone!

If they do the 10 minute rule today, every bill on the SOC will be carried over.

 

[LAHammer]

That is a roll call vote on the motions to table.

 

[homebrewdad]

Okay.

So again, when does the SOC come around?

 

[alestateyall]

Has Alabama considered investing in an electronic voting system?

 

[BarefootFriar]

I think the House has one. I seem to remember it from when I visited when I was a kid. I could be wrong.

 

[Huff360]

The house uses "the machine" but for some reason, the senate doesn't.

They can go in any order they really want, so the standard doesn't have to be followed. They did some jumping around right after the recess, so I'm not sure what they have and have not covered.

 

[Huff360]

As the house clerk Mr. Woodard would say

"The clerk will unlock the machine, the members will vote."

It goes much faster!

 

[Huff360]

And we are off the new SOC. Now they address budget...

DAMNIT.

 

[homebrewdad]

Well, we're toast. We've gone to a new SOC featuring the budget.

 

[CGVT]

****

 

[wailingguitar]

I am FUMING

 

[pentachris]

And just like that, we're not on the SOC.

 

[alestateyall]

Wow! That sucks.

 

[MTate37]

Speechless...

 

[isleofman]

It was a great move by Mac, but too late into the log jam of the last 2 days of session.

 

[homebrewdad]

Waste half the day reading full titles and tabling every single motion. Now take another hour recess.

Would have been better had we not even had a spot on the calendar. At spot #1, I got my hopes up like an idiot.

Same. I had come to peace that it wasn't going to happen this year, until earlier today.

Any chance that anything other than the budget be on the new SOC?

That new SOC is nothing but budget. No way they get anything else done today.

I'm sorry to hear about this. You guys should move.

Would you uproot your family, move away from friends, sell your home, find a new job, etc for homebrewing?

Naw. Just keep being the rebels you are (your secret's safe with us ).

I keep trying to talk my wife into moving to Switzerland or Iceland because of certain happenings in the U.S. Homebrewing, not so much.

That's why it was a joke.
