Honestly, realistically I don't believe we will ever need to use this, just like how we barely ever call hearings for other positions, but I guess I'm not in opposition to it.
I would like to amend this legislation.
Eliminates proposed clause 2 of Article 2, Section III such that in the proposal it now reads:
In order for a Hearing to be held, a proposal must be put to the floor of that chamber and passed with a simple majority. However, a proposal to hold a hearing for a High Court Justice or a Deputy Justice requires a two-thirds majority.
Strike of the proposal line mine own.
[Sorry if it looks kind of weird, not exactly sure how to do this.]
There don't immediately come many instances to mind when thinking of reasons why Justices would need to be heard in a hearing besides maybe partisanship/inability to remain neutral, however it may be a good thing to include them in L.R. 034 either way. I do however agree with Amendment A as proposed by Hulldom. Belonging to a different branch of government should not come with such privileges as given here, and would only create unequal treatment and more chances for one to escape accountability.
Senators, we have begun voting on Amendment A.

The amendment poses an advantage and a disadvantage. The advantage being that the court is held accountable and is equal. The disadvantage is that it increase legislative involvement in the courts. 2/3rds majority for a hearing would ensure a bipartisan agreement is needed for a court hearing.
However, I believe strongly in accountability, even for our Justices.
I vote Aye
As should be unsurprising, I vote Aye.

My internet decided to work again, so I can vote aye here!

The bill has passed and will be sent to the House.
Senators, we have begun debate on the Thaecian Judicial and Ministerial Reform of 2021 .
Really beyond time we take this power. The only amendment I'd entertain is one which just makes the Foreign Minister confirmed by the Senate. But, generally, if we confirm the exterior presence of Thaecia in treaties, we ought to also confirm the servants in Ministers working on said things.
