3. It wasn't quite clear to me

He asked if the FL Sec of State had officially declared him in the seat. Pelosi answered 'that is correct'. So, not sure where it stood exactly. :shrug:

5. Thank you

It gets confusing with the 'formal' language on stuff. (I confess...my Robert's Rules is very well worn from my service on committees and boards.)

8. With prejudice means the body judges that the rep is accepted, without further consideration.

Without prejudice means that the body reserves the right to make a judgment, either for or against the rep, later on.

10. Without/with prejudice...

Edited on Thu Jan-04-07 08:07 PM by Fridays Child

prejudice (law)
In law, the phrase without prejudice means that a claim, lawsuit, or proceeding has been brought to a temporary end but that no legal rights or privileges have been determined, waived, or lost by the result.

snip

By contrast with prejudice means that a party's legal rights have in fact been determined and lost.

6. Yes

the fact is the Florida Secretary of State has certified him the winner of the election.

But the House gets to decide who to seat, and the committee will investigate it.
