The final argument made by supporters regarding the bill suggested that it was in fact inOrganic as applicable to the situation I described in my bill. But because applying the PD to other situations could be seen as an Organic exercise of the PD, and because of the assurance that the government would not inOrganically enforce the PD, then it should remain as law. Furthermore, should I have any concerns regarding its inOrganicity, the recourse is the court system, not the Ziu, despite actually admitting the PD was inOrganic.
I am in agreement that it is up to everyone, not just the Cort, to determine for themselves what they believe is inOrganic, so I am not criticizing you for proposing it. However, it happened that the Ziu did not agree with you, and it unfortunate that you now claim they were somehow misled.
There are probably many bills that could be construed in inOrganic ways, but that doesn't mean we instantly repeal all of them because few of them will ever be exercised in accordance with a possible inOrganic interpretation. If the Ziu thinks there is a problem, they can take action to change the law, or someone can bring suit. In this instance, the Ziu determined there was no issue (probably because it was clear the enforcement of the PD was not inOrganic and there is little risk of it ever becoming so - if this were to change the Ziu could revisit the issue).
This bill, much like the PD, was meant to be lighthearted but immediately taken the other direction. And while it did expose how lawmakers should do a better job of ensuring compliance with Organic Law in the future, it did more to expose how this administration will stop at nothing to accomplish their goals, and for which they take personal offense.
If you would like to criticize me for issuing the PD and then standing by it, then please do so. However, the rest of the Government had nothing to do with this and your attack on them is unwarranted. In fact, many members of the Government voted in favor of repeal, and several MZs outside of the government voted against it.
Also, I would hardly say that voting against your bill and then debating with you about it constitutes "stopping at nothing."
