| While the Chancellor and Jedi Order are apparently busy navel gazing intently, a situation has sprung up on Eriadu where the people object to certain matters of Republic law (Jedi child appropriation specifically) and seek to pass a resolution "Nullifying" the law using the mechanism of petitioning the Government. There is presently a convention sitting discussing the matter which brings into question basic principles of Republic unity and sovereignty.
As the Chancellor has allowed things to reach the eleventh hour. And as the Jedi Order has also singularly failed to dispatch a legation hitherto to simply discuss the issue around a table with the Eriadu Government, the task falls upon us as Senators to act to defuse this situation by going to these discussions and arguing our views coherently for the good of the Republic. I am booked on the Eriadu Express leaving in two hours time. We ought to arrive at Eriadu on the second day of the Convention and can at least articulate the views of other peer Republic worlds. How has the situation reached the point where the Jedi Order and the Chancellor have failed to dispatch any legation or representation, official or unofficial, to Eriadu. This is astonishing, appalling and demonstrates the poor leadership at present in the Galactic Republic and the inefficiency of the Jedi Order, much in need of reform.
I urge any Senators who share my view that the Republic should at least have a voice at this dialogue, I fervently urge you to travel to Eriadu alongside myself and present a united front.

| The Republic is formally protesting this convention, Senator Terrawin. No emissary of the Republic is necessary to argue against a measure that is plainly unconstitutional. No world is above the law, and no world may simply declare itself so. The law will be enforced on Eriadu.

| *Via holo from the express ship he was travelling on.*
You've gone mad, Pryce.
Utterly mad, insane, mentally ill, certifiable, deranged, demented, of unsound mind, out of one's mind, not in one's right mind, sick in the head, not together, crazy, crazed, lunatic, non compos mentis, unbalanced, unhinged, unstable, disturbed, distracted, stark mad, manic, frenzied, raving, distraught, frantic, hysterical, delirious, psychotic, psychopathic, mad as a hatter, mad as a March hare, away with the fairies, foaming at the mouth; I call upon Senators to ignore Chancellor Pryce who seems to be intentionally inflaming the situation and urge them to simply come and do as I am doing, the people of Eriadu have concerns.
The Chancellor and Jedi have so far failed to alay these concerns and now are turning to use force on the peaceful people of Eriadu for simply debating a measure that he deems unconstitutional. Is the Chancellor a member of the Judiciary? No. The Supreme Court is the authority to rule on matters of constitutionality so far as I am aware "Chancellor". A simply diplomatic mission, negotiations and a peaceful settlement could have solved this weeks ago.
I'm going to go and talk to these people exercising their right of petition and freedom of speech. And I hope I believe I can convince them their argument is wrong and have them relent, or at least come to an amicable conclusion we can both accept as legal within current limits while alaying their concerns. That is called diplomacy. I am a diplomat and that is my job. Which, unlike the Chancellor, I do.

| If you want to be helpful, Senator Terrawin, you can return to Coruscant and vote in favor of the solution I've negotiated with the Jedi Order during the period of time during which you accuse me of "navel gazing."

| To me, the issue is clear. Either Eriadu follows Republic law, or it does not and faces the consequences of its actions. This is how the galaxy works. This is how the Republic works. If they have an issue with the law, then the Seswenna Sector delegate needs to present these concerns before the Senate. Follow the law, whether you like it or not, and follow the constitutional routes to change the law. That is all there is to it; how the Senate believes this is an area of debate astounds me.

| Lorrd calls Senator Terrawin of Alsakan to order for his commentary that is purely speculative on Chancellor Pryce's mental state and request it be stricken from the record. As well, I formally call that Senator Terrawin be censured for his remark and must either issue a formal apology or be barred from the Senate floor temporarily as a reprimand.
Eriadu is not a special world, gentlebeings. I do not see Lorrd, Druckenwell, Neimoidia, Duros or any other world represented here attempting to nullify a section of law set forth in the Ruusan Reformations. My point rests.

| Shouldn't we note that Eriadu is merely holding a public debate on the matter? It's not as if its passed it into law.

| If such matters on Eriadu really disrupt the population as well as the planetary government, dialogue is no doubt needed in this Senate!! Independent action without consulting the higher powers is treason!!! We must stand united in these issues, even if parties disagree!!! That is the beauty of a free government!!! We all are entitled to a voice, but the matter in which we express that voice is the driving factor on where our loyalties stand!!!
Senator of Lantillies
