Pitty hot.
1:19:29
There is no civility,
only politics.
1:19:33
The Republic
is not what it once was.
1:19:37
The senate is full of greedy,
squabbling delegates.
1:19:43
There is no interest
in the common good.
1:19:47
I must be frank, Your Majesty.
1:19:48
There is little chance the senate
will act on the invasion.
1:19:51
Chancellor Valorum
seems to think there is hope.
1:19:54
If I may say so, Your Majesty...
1:19:56
the chancellor
has little real power.
1:19:58
He is mired by baseless
accusations ofcorruption.
1:20:02
- The bureaucrats are in charge now.
- What options have we?
1:20:06
Our best choice would be
to push for the election...
1:20:09
of a stronger
supreme chancellor...
1:20:11
one who could control
the bureaucrats...
1:20:14
and give us justice.
1:20:16
You could call for a vote of
no confidence in Chancellor Valorum.
1:20:22
He has been
our strongest supporter.
1:20:24
Our only other choice would be
to submit a plea to the courts.
1:20:29
The courts take even longer
to decide things than the senate.
1:20:33
Our people are dying, Senator.
1:20:36
We must do something quickly
to stop the Federation.
1:20:39
To be realistic, Your Majesty...
1:20:42
I think we're going to have to
accept Federation control...
1:20:44
for the time being.
1:20:48
That is something I cannot do.
