Wade’s Motion
Tuesday, June 13th, 2006 @ 1:05 pm
Wade’s motion is scheduled for debate at 7:40 pm. The debate is whether or not to refer it to the IMB first, which is like asking the ship’s captain which way he would like to sail while he heads for the shoals.
The referral must be overturned, but it will require a 2/3 majority of the house.
This is the big debate for which we have come.

They had better realize that if this is not overturned, the nuclear option will be in view, and that will not bode well for the IMB to have all their dirty laundry, names, places, dates, times, etc. named for the whole Convention to observe in all its ignominy.

I just listened to the debate. Wade was very well spoken in speaking in favor of the referral, but publicly putting the trustee chairman and all trustees on public notice to seriously seek to address the issues openly and forthrightly. It was shocking to me that Bobby Welch, the moderator, spoke in favor of the referral when he knows the moderator/chair should be as neutral as possible in such a situation. I was watching online, and his body language/facial expressions indicated extreme discomfort with the points being made by those speaking against referral. No one else was making the points he wanted made, so he just did it himself!
Even though it was referred, the IMB trustees are now on the spot to address these issues seriously. If they do not, they will have no reasonable excuses next year.
