For those that are not here, Legislative Council began with an immediate motion to suspend Roberts Rules of Order. For a variety of reasons, the motion passed.
Wouldn't it be great if there were other times in your life when you could suspend the rules, just for a little while? Imagine being able to suspend the speed limit, just for that one time you're running late. Or suspending the rule that you have to go to work every day to get paid. Or even that pesky "insider trading" rule -- that one could be profitable.
As President Fleming pointed out, you can suspend the rules, but you can't suspend the National Constitution. I guess some rules -- specifically the ties of Brotherhood -- are immutable.

I want to suspend the speed limit! Stupid Upper Peninsula speed limits are too low for the road conditions.
