As the Declaration of Inpawendence states, "“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all [species] are created equal, that they are endowed, by their Creator, with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness." Depriving kittens of their right to life from spaying their mother is un-American! ]]> 2019-02-15 23:37:01 UTC https://padlet.com/paigewirt3/2mtxfhm6npjq/wish/331937974 paigewirt3 https://padlet.com/paigewirt3/2mtxfhm6npjq/wish/331937996 Pearl's proposed bill ends up getting written by the Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Senate Committee. The Subcommittee of Children and Families work closely on this bill. Thankfully, it was able to pass through the committee stage with a favored majority vote!]]> 2019-02-15 23:37:13 UTC https://padlet.com/paigewirt3/2mtxfhm6npjq/wish/331937996 paigewirt3 https://padlet.com/paigewirt3/2mtxfhm6npjq/wish/331938059   None of the senators could efficiently debate against Pearl's ethical argument. Due to the nature of the bill being about civil rights, no senator had the heart to filibuster. Pearl's proposed bill passes through the Senate with 72 votes and moves onto the House of Representatives. ]]> 2019-02-15 23:37:50 UTC https://padlet.com/paigewirt3/2mtxfhm6npjq/wish/331938059 paigewirt3 https://padlet.com/paigewirt3/2mtxfhm6npjq/wish/331938097    The House of Representatives and Senate create a conference committee to iron out the differences between the Senate and House of Representative's bill. The House of Representatives want the declawing of cats to be illegal. The conference committee came to a compromise in that the new bill prohibits the declawing of hind paws.]]> 2019-02-15 23:38:08 UTC https://padlet.com/paigewirt3/2mtxfhm6npjq/wish/331938097 paigewirt3 https://padlet.com/paigewirt3/2mtxfhm6npjq/wish/331938139   The refined bill easily passes through both chambers of congress. Unfortunately, the media coverage for the bill is predominantly negative. Many polls for 2020 shows that some incumbents will have a hard time getting re-elected. This correlates with the plummeting congressional approval. ]]> 2019-02-15 23:38:38 UTC https://padlet.com/paigewirt3/2mtxfhm6npjq/wish/331938139 paigewirt3 https://padlet.com/paigewirt3/2mtxfhm6npjq/wish/331956130     The Supreme Court questions Pearl's proposed idea through their power of judicial review. The bill brings up concerns on how overpopulation could impact the county. Ultimately, the bills advocates for the idea that all feline life has intrinsic value and passes through the court. ]]> 2019-02-16 03:42:19 UTC https://padlet.com/paigewirt3/2mtxfhm6npjq/wish/331956130 paigewirt3 https://padlet.com/paigewirt3/2mtxfhm6npjq/wish/332060793 The bill is vetoed because the president believes that Pearl's proposed idea will cause great harm to the human population. The president does not want to take part in felines overpopulating the world.  ]]> 2019-02-17 02:49:42 UTC https://padlet.com/paigewirt3/2mtxfhm6npjq/wish/332060793 paigewirt3 https://padlet.com/paigewirt3/2mtxfhm6npjq/wish/332060831   The cats of congress are fuming! They come together and get two thirds of both houses to overwrite the president's veto. Felines have achieved equity in the United States.]]> 2019-02-17 02:50:06 UTC https://padlet.com/paigewirt3/2mtxfhm6npjq/wish/332060831 paigewirt3 https://padlet.com/paigewirt3/2mtxfhm6npjq/wish/332060849   Cats take over North America, Africa and Western Europe with ease. The biggest threat to them are China and Russia.
