[Captain Kirk]

You're made a claim (or am I mistaken?) that Newt kept his promise e.g. that he putthe CWA to a "vote." Thus, the burden of proof is on you to provide the evidence.

Then again, you could continue to make claims that have no basis in the evidence and then try to shift the burden of proof to anyone who questions your factual claims (which I suspect you will do).

No, the burden is on you to prove that the CwA was "violated". You brought it up, chief.
