	Rules of Order
		Motions to delay a decision are common in legislative debates.
		The motion to lay on the table being undebatable, and requiring only a majority vote, and having the highest rank of all subsidiary motions, is in direct conflict with these principles, if used to suppress a question.

	motion \| English \| Dictionary & Translation by Babylon
		The tendency of cosmic motion is ever toward the spiral; in kinematics, simple harmonic motion generates ellipses, of which the straight line and the circle are limiting cases.
		Motion was defined as an effect of force, force being itself expressed in terms of motion.
		Motions are often made before trials to resolve procedural and preliminary issues, and may be made after trials to enforce or modify judgments.

	Afghanistan: What Kind of an Election, What Kind of a Democracy?
		Procedural democracy, while void of true democratic substance, is mainly concerned with the motion of democracy and political appearances.
		In such a democracy, elections happen for their own sake, serving as the ultimate political goal in themselves, and not as the means of political participation and popular decision-making.
		Examples of procedural democracies abound in a large number of African, Asian, and Latin American countries where corrupt and otherwise dictatorial regimes are going through the motion of general elections merely to satisfy (or take advantage of) the exegesis of the global war on terrorism.

	Democracy 21 -- BCRA Supporters File Motion to Intervene in WRTL Case to Defend Key BCRA Provision
		The members of Congress filed their motion to enter the lawsuit as parties to help defend BCRA under a provision of the law that grants a statutory right to Members to intervene in any case that challenges the constitutionality of BCRA.
		According to Democracy 21 President Fred Wertheimer, ''The broad constitutional exemption being sought by WRTL would essentially reverse the Supreme Court's decision issued just two years ago in the McConnell case on this important constitutional question, and would return large amounts of corrupting corporate and labor union soft money to federal elections.''
		The three principal BCRA sponsors who moved to intervene today filed an amicus brief in the Supreme Court last year in the WRTL case, defending the constitutionality of the BCRA ''electioneering communications'' provision.
