I object - the device is just getting interesting whether it exists or not... > I object to my above intent, on the basis that it's an intent to > perform an impossible action (per rule 105, it's impossible to repeal > two rules simultaneously and thus attempts to resolve the intent would > fail). I don't see anything preventing the intent from reading "I intend to repeal that rule and then this one" i.e. I'd read it as the rule doesn't prescribe the order of repealing, but the announcement of intent can (and must in order to succeed). Clarification is certainly a good idea though. -G.
