BACKGROUND: today I am pleased to host the first post Conrad (aka Calimero) after the closure of his blog. For the time Conrad has no plans to reopen his blog (Hope you change your mind) and when and if he wants to post will be hosted here. If
to September still has not changed my mind this will become a blog with two authors (even if it is a bit 'odd that the blogger is co-owner of the most popular blog ... but that's okay!).
Happy reading!

June 28, 2006: You are conducting the Senate debate on the decree unpacking prosecutors presented by the government, need to assign new responsibilities to ministers and junior ministers. The regulation provides, in Article 93 that each senator may present before the debate a question or a suspension issue, that is a request che l’argomento del giorno non debba essere trattato, oppure che la discussione debba essere rinviata. L’articolo prosegue ordinando esplicitamente che la discussione non può proseguire se non dopo che il Senato si sia pronunciato sulle questioni poste dai parlamentari. E ora iniziano le cose strane: nel pomeriggio del 27 giugno i senatori Lucio Malan (FI), Giorgio Stracquadanio (Nuova Dc) e Andrea Pastore (FI) annunciano al presidente di turno, Gavino Angius, a voce in aula e per iscritto, di voler presentare il giorno successivo una questione pregiudiziale (i primi due) ed un’altra sospensiva (il terzo) prima della discussione del disegno di legge spacchetta-ministeri. Angius rassicura i tre circa il rispetto delle loro prerogative. The next day, Franco Marini, when addressing the questions raised by senators of the CDL does not pass the word to them as the regulation provides, but directly to the government. A real abuse against minorities and the prerogatives that the regulation grants it, that describes the leader of the Olive Anna Finocchiaro reporters, and without any shame, as a "different interpretation of regulations."
July 27, 2006: It's been almost a month. The government puts the confidence on the decree renewing our military involvement abroad. They are known as the tummy of the extreme left, and Romano Prodi decided to lock down their political majority. The degree course, favorable to the decree, is not prepared to vote no confidence in the Government of the Union, then, leaves the courtroom in protest, and also to avoid having to vote in any event against their will (giving confidence to the executive or withholding their consent to Decree). In the classroom are 159 senators plus the President Marini. The quorum to constitute a vote of 160 senators (as four of the 322 senators are on a mission, you must compute the half plus one of the other, exactly 160). In counting a quorum according to the Senate shall be calculated only senators who voted - in this case 159, one less than the Senate needed. Franco Marini did not take part in the vote. Criticism from the CDL, the President said: "President of the Senate does not vote but is present then there is a quorum and the vote is in order." And here, by a vote illegally at the mouth of all the alleged guarantor becomes regular, we are twisting the rules to the second in a month.
the CDL in the last Parliament, had been accusations of all kinds: dall'orrido use of pianists (and the Senate, although regrettable, is however a practice that remains within the limits of regulation), reinforced by the majorities confidence, to the lack of willingness for dialogue and so on. Never, however, the CDL, as ugly, dirty and bad, had arrived in time: the EU in just two months reso il regolamento del Senato carta straccia, ha stravolto le regole scritte di uno dei due rami del parlamento con l’azione consapevole (non possiamo credere che Marini non conosca il regolamento dell’aula che presiede) della seconda carica dello stato. Ha calpestato i diritti normati e riconosciuti della minoranza. Tutto questo dovrebbe condurre ad una riflessione da parte del centrodestra.
Dialogo o barricate? E’ chiaro,oramai, che il Senato è divenuto il bivacco dei manipoli di Romano Prodi. La minoranza è umiliata contro il dettato del regolamento e la prassi parlamentare. La risposta alla domanda è una sola: barricate, fino al ripristino del gisto funzionamento di metà del parlamento, fino ad ora letteralmente seized by the procedural quirks of its chairman.
