| I will not speak of what I personally believe, as due to my position, one way or another, it will be politicized by those on both sides of the argument. However, I will not speak on behalf of the Jedi Council without there having been a discussion with the Jedi Council. Force-sensitive sub-adults were long put under the legal protection of the Jedi Order. That is the simple matter of the law. It has been this way for thousands of years. The Republic deemed it worthy to be codified into law. I never responded to you because there was nothing to respond with. Silence is not consent, and such mindset is immature. Silence is silence, and one who seeks to find sound among silence will only find the sounds of one's self. I can not say what is needed, as the Jedi Council is seeking to determine that still, but what is not needed, is a Chancellor who uses slander to pass his own legislation.

| Couldn't we ask them to send the little green one next time? I liked him better.

| I too would like to ask if this is the opinion held by a plurality of the High Council or a Concensus? I cannot believe that Master Yoda (an excellent little being with whom I have had many fine conversations and with whom I share the hobby of woodwind instruments) would seriously endorse the current position you're voicing in the Senate or your policy toward Eriadu's people wishing to discuss a law concerning your order. Now I just don't believe this sort of obstinate digging in their heels is becoming of the Jedi, and I am convinced my very good friend Master Yoda would not either.
I've heard of the Unifying Force and the Living Force being philosophies within the Jedi Order, is it possible Master Tching is now an ardent follower, pioneer and perhaps discoverer of "The Obstinate Force", which stands for refusal and failure in preventing the present Eriadu situation, wanton ongoing failure in having no official delegate there, shamefully backing your current rights (which are granted by us, the Sovereign Senate) in truculence to the Supreme Chancellor?
Are the Jedi not dedicated to debate, deep thought and meditation on issues and for their work as conciliators on the behalf of the Republic. As I see it, Chancellor Pryce was trying to help your order with this proposal. In rejecting it you are only going to make the order more unpopular in the Galaxy and yourself less well regarded on all levels in the halls of the Republic and the Jedi Order.
Who's the Jedi there now who's been admirably defending your position without just saying "thats just how it is, we won't participate in anything which might change it"; it's lazy, obstinate and rude to the body which funds you, and this is coming from a senator who has ever been Pro Jedi here.. I support the Order as Guardians of the Republic, but I fear I have little confidence in "His Grace" Sun Tching, by all accounts a man with an altogether too insecure view of his light saber's length, who has made a career of waving a laser sword around. Marvellous performance art I'll grant you Senators, but where are the real tangible achievements other members of the Council have?
It's clear here they've made a mistake. Perhaps the force was murky on the day of Tching's selection, since when has proficiency alone iusing a laser to chop things up (with a deal of style and skill) qualified a sentient for any post of such high leadership, or any post of such high level of liason with the Republic.
He's clearly not a "people person" couldn't we have a member of the Council who has specialties other than slicing and dicing address us? Or be seconded as the official speaker to the Senate and Galaxy in General. For the situation now is unacceptable!

| A "people person" or not, Master Tching has revealed something important; namely, the Supreme Chancellor apparently misrepresented to us Master Tching's opinion of this proposal, claiming his endorsement of it when no such endorsement had been made. The Chancellor seems to have done this for the purpose of misleading the Senate into supporting his proposal on false pretenses. And if the Chancellor is being dishonest about Master Tching's endorsement of his proposal, what else is he being dishonest about? We already know about his financial indiscretions, must we now doubt everything he says to us? I fear the answer is yes.
Maybe the Chancellor is trying to help, as my friend Senator Kruus says. Nonetheless, I simply can't support this measure under these circumstances. Certainly not until the Jedi Council has been heard on the subject. On this, again, I agree with Senator Kruus.

| It's been days now, Finbar, and still no word from the Jedi Council. This is what I was dealing with as the people of the Seswenna Sector have been induced to seriously consider a measure that could embroil that Sector in war—stubborn silence from Master Tching and the Council. I had to act to prevent a war, and I acted. Did I misrepresent Master Tching's opinion of this measure? No, because I asked his opinion and he never wrote me back. He still won't say what his opinion is, so how am I to blame for assuming his consent from his silence? This has nothing to do with any "financial indiscretions," because financial gain isn't my motive; I want to preserve law and order in this Republic, and that's what this proposal is about. I want the people of Eriadu to know that this Senate shares their concerns and will take action to address those concerns within the current framework of the law, so that the "nullification" of laws is not perceived as necessary.

| While I may be new and my opinions may not be swayed by many, I believe the main problem regarding several parties involved in the situation at Eriadu was communication breakdown. I am certain Chancellor Pryce was attempting to do what was in the best interests of the Republic, as well as the sentient beings that resides in this galaxy. I am also certain that Master Tching did not respond because he was acting in the best interests of the Jedi Council. Thus, how do we come to a compromise without disrupting anyone? Perhaps a compromise is what we needed.
I suggest that the debate at Eriadu continues, while the Senate votes on who should be on the chairs of the C.A.R.E Commission. If indeed the proposal does pass, that is. We could pressure pressure Governor Tarkin to give every single person involved in the debate what we call "an extended recess". For the duration of that time, we could send two or three delegates that could serve as a liaison. The liaisons would then relay everything that has been recorded in the debate to the C.A.R.E. Commission while the selection process are still ongoing. This would ensure an acceleration process to resolving what is in the best interests for everyone.

| I agree for the most part with Senator Onasi. Indeed, this sort of commission isn't necessarily a bad idea. But the manner in which the Chancellor presented this bill to us, and the fact that he did so under false pretenses, make it impossible for me to support it. Now that the convention on Eriadu has been postponed for Life Day, the Chancellor should withdraw his proposal and use this time to confer with the Jedi Council and the Governor of Eriadu—or, as Senator Onasi says, let the Senate liaise with the Jedi and the Governor instead.
Perhaps I spoke in haste with respect to the Chancellor's other indiscretions. Nevertheless, he has destroyed his credibility on this issue and must withdraw his proposal. Otherwise I have no choice but to vote against.

| I've already accounted for myself, I'm not going to do so again. But since the Senate is stubbornly unwilling to support this reasonable compromise and Master Tching has been supremely unhelpful too, I withdraw the proposal, and even though I've already spoken rather frankly with Governor Tarkin, I'll attempt another consultation with him in the hopes that it will prove more productive than the last. But I still believe strongly that the Senate and the Jedi are missing an opportunity here to prevent a constitutional crisis. But so be it.
