01 October 2020 - Capital City, CW - Today, the House of Commons returned to Capital City after being on recess for more than two months since the pandemic started.
"I'm eager to get back. Time to get back to work." said Senator Gene Healdsburg (L) of Orano. The House of Commons will debate a controversial bill that has been apart of Boshka's code of laws since before it's founding, today as senators pack the Senate chambers. CBN's very own Hanna Morehead, reached out to President Bannister to ask how such a law got into the books. Here is his response,
"These laws were meant to be building blocks for our country's code of law. They were meant to be debated and amended. It was never my intension for this law [Chapter 15, Article I, Section 16-15-120] to ever stay written as it is. It simply got overlooked. I can say, I'm very happy that it was spotted. One things for sure, no one in the nation's history has ever been charged with breaking this law as written." - President Michael R. Bannister
Sen. Kevin Moskalets (C) from Carnswell will present a bill to amend Chapter 15, Article 1, Section 16-15-120 which presently states, "Whoever shall commit the abominable crime of buggery, whether with mankind or with beast, shall, on conviction, be guilty of felony and shall be imprisoned in the Penitentiary for five years or shall pay a fine of not less than five hundred dollars, or both, at the discretion of the court."
Back in June of 2018, Sen. Moskalets married his fiancé, Alex Vasiliev.
If the House passes the amendment, the bill will omit the following, "whether with mankind or". leaving, "Whoever shall commit the abominable crime of buggery, with beast, shall, on conviction, be guilty of felony and shall be imprisoned in the Penitentiary for five years or shall pay a fine of not less than five hundred dollars, or both, at the discretion of the court."
