The Galactic Senate was adjourned earlier today following raucous scenes on the voting floor during a debate on expansion of the Galactic Custodian’s powers.

Tensions appeared to boil over when delegates in support of the motion saw the vote shift in their favor, at which point they began incoherently screaming “I AM THE SENATE” at each other.

Incensed, opposition delegates were then heard to shriek “IT’S TREASON THEN!” while aggressively and unpredictably barrel-rolling across the chamber.

Senate leaders attempted to restore calm by reminding officials of the Senate’s Code Of Conduct Order 66 regarding civil behavior, but this only seemed to intensify rowdiness.

Senator Amygdala, representing the Lymbic Systems, expressed disappointment in her colleagues, telling Xenonion “so this is how democracy dies, with incomprehensible screeching.”

Senate leaders state they are hoping to recommence proceedings tomorrow to accommodate an emergency vote on Tiyanki conservation, which has been deemed a critical tenet of how the galaxy will respond to the ongoing Unbidden invasion.
