I realize I just caused a bit of a kerfuffle in the judicial system thread -- for which I apologize.
Â
However, I'd like to point out that not everything that gets discussed in the Assembly needs to be acted upon. And, further, some things that get written up into potential laws may fail. That's a democratic system. It sucks, but it's better than other forms of government that have been tried.
Â
It doesn't matter if someone wasn't involved in the discussion -- or still has questions about a law -- and then votes against it. That's their right.
Â
I'm not saying this to attack anyone personally and I get that it's frustrating when you put time into something and it fails. I'm just trying to offer caution so that we don't assume everything that gets put up for a vote will pass. I feel that's a dangerous precedent to have.
