Division is clearly too high a math for them. I'd start with something more elementary, like count large numbers, up to 22.

I think I just realized why this Senate cannot truly be called a Senate: it has no senators.

Actually it had nothing to do with math this evening. Clearly we knew that 6-12 was a 2/3 vote. It was the issue of it was a majority (half plus 1) or a 2/3 vote. Nonetheless...I can count. So boo on you.

But alas, to Mr.Anderson...I'm very sorry that votes were only made just because a certain senator thought you had already won. What ever happened to senators voting on behalf of the integrity of the students? Not just because they think it's a lost cause...

From what I seem to figure, as long as the Senate confirmed Taylor without a point of order being raised on the vote, and as long as he has been sworn in, there's not a hell of a lot that can be done about it. Taylor is a Justice. It will be fun to see what comes of this mess though.

Aside, why does the Senate still manufacture these situations despite the advantage of a year's experience?

No, Senator, you can't count. A 12-6 vote is a two thirds vote in the affirmative all right, but only if you were counting the senators present and voting. But the Constitution says "two thirds of the Senators present." Two thirds of 19 is 13. Being present and being present AND voting are two different things and not at all equivalent, except for when all senators present are voting.

The Sagebrush was right: FAIL.
