| Welcome to Europeia! So what the heck is Europeia anyways? Can I join? So, I came here representing another region? I do not want to become a citizen. Where should I go? What offices are there for people to be elected into? What is there for me to do in Europeia? That answers most of my immediate questions. What if I have any more? |

If you saw what I've been up to behind the scenes you'd realize how antsy I've been about getting this Cabinet in place

Yes I was. This happened less than a year ago and I remember it quite well. My point was that Cormac seemed upset that SD's comments were somehow flippant or disingenous or disrespectful to the Senate, which I don't think they were. The other half of his argument - that SD's split loyalty is problematic - is something I agree with, as I've said earlier in this thread and elsewhere. |

Sorry, I thought you returned more recently (or, perhaps, that SD's presidency was longer ago). Anyway, my objection to what SD wasn't stylistic (Senators don't need their asses kissed), but substantive. |

Well, it's a moot issue now. Looking forward to seeing Kraken's replacement pick. |

Sorry, I had forgotten about this thread and have only been paying attention to the Senate the past couple of days, as I've been busy. As Skizzy put it, my concerns were more substantive than stylistic though I may not have conveyed that well. I had concerns about Seven Deaths before he ever answered a question, and those concerns were related to activity issues and conflicts of interest. Nothing he said in response to my questions gave me any confidence that I shouldn't have those concerns, or at least that I shouldn't be concerned enough to vote against his confirmation. He seemed combative, like he couldn't be bothered, and like these weren't real issues, which led me to believe we could see history repeat itself. I didn't oppose his nomination because he wasn't sufficiently sucking up to the Senate. I opposed his nomination because he seemed to dismiss concerns about his activity and conflicts of interest, doing nothing to substantively address them. To address Mouse's point... actually, no, I don't think I will.
