I object to the scheduling of this for a vote.

Freddy!

Well fought and congratulations.

I'd be for a repeal of WA 1 personally. But I think it's more of a goal to work towards than a legitimate possibility.

I believe the Co-Author listed is the one traditionally used by R3n. He has two other co-author credits to that nation already. And I welcome any and all feedback as well.

Despite all Romanoffia's ad-libs, This special election will in fact run, I dispute the truth of Neirr calling dibs, Because he forgets, that I called shotgun.

TNP Nation: Dueling Cardsharps Vote: Treize_Dreizehn

I've been thinking about this all day. I'm not sure we need a law on the subject at all? The justices can alter the rules to accommodate decorum. If someone breaches that decorum the court rules can allow for outright dismissal of any motions that don't conform (technically a justice could do...

To go into a little bit more detail... what we're talking about here are enumerated rights. The constitution specifies a right for the defendant to choose his or her own council. So even if the council is disruptive and/or incompetent, the only acceptable interpretations of the law that allows...

Oh jeez. Maybe this is just the WA author in me, but plagiarism, even of laws is a serious thing. If I'd noticed y'all saying that I'd have commented on it as well. We definitely need to scrap this and start over from scratch.

I like puns. Which are nearly as offensive. Can I just say you guys dance the line between taking things entirely too seriously and simultaneously not seriously enough so well that I question my sanity when I try to fathom your thinking processes?

I agree. We absolutely need to empower our justices to deal with disruption in the court room but it should be shorter. I honestly think trying to make it a criminal offense is a bridge too far though. Making it a criminal offense will seriously over complicate the trials. Not to mention it...

So recently the Rejected Times ran a story by Gruenberg on the effects of vote stacking on the World Assembly. It was a mostly unobjectionable piece... except for one tiny tidbit: He claimed that the WA forums have little actual effect on the voting habits of World Assembly members. So I feel...

I have been very clear about this particular point already. But I will make this point again as clearly as I think I am able: I'm aware of what the constitution says... I quoted it earlier when I answered your question the first time. If it said "Where no rules exist, the Chief Justice may...

Well since the constitution doesn't give the CJ the latitude to make rules, but rather to make decisions... I'd say it's a good ace to have in the justices' pocket for unforeseen circumstances.

Luckily you've given me a great opportunity to give you an object lesson in what I would do. You have been arguing with folks all over these forums and that is entirely your right. However this thread is not your soap box. So either stick to questions about my candidacy or GTFO, if you please...

That's a very difficult hypothetical for me to answer. There are two reasons essentially. First of all it assumes there would be two of me. One to preside and one to act as attorney. While I hope that one day that dream will become a reality, as it stands it's hard to say how I would've reacted...

No. Because I called shotgun.

The Constitution is pretty clear. The Chief Justice does not have the ability to "create rules". The line in question is this one: "3. The Chief Justice will administer the rules of the Court. Where no rules exist, the Chief Justice may use their discretion." This does not, necessarily, indicate...

Hey. So you guys know me pretty well by now. You've probably figured out that I have a keen eye for the law. I ran during the last justice election because I genuinely felt that I could help the region in the position. That said... the region made a different choice. I want to be clear, the...

I declare my candidacy.

Not to take anyone's side here but the constitution says this: "7. Abstentions cast in the Regional Assembly will not be used to determine the result of any vote, but may be used for quorum and all other purposes."

Really Flem? Really?!

Hasn't a vote already been scheduled for the 2nd?

What's worse to me is that the "precedent" cited to supposedly overrule Roman is in reference to civil trials(and was made during a civil trial). It even says "plaintiff" rather than "prosecutor". I don't think it applies here, and I'm fairly certain Roman is well within his rights and...

You're putting conditions on the presentation of evidence you clearly know already exists? ;)

First of all you've threatened to remove me about 5 times and failed to follow through. If the court so wishes it may do so and I'll respect that decision. Until then: You have demonstrated a clear bias by the quoted statement. You have further proved that bias in IRC conversations we've held...

I'd also note that we've both informed Roman that if he were to utilize his power as presiding justice to bar us from the courtroom, we would no longer post there. Until then we feel it is appropriate to defend our client to the utmost.

Are you telling me I'm not allowed to file further legitimate motions to defend my client just because you personally don't like them? We're doing our jobs. You do yours.

I am acting in the best interests of my client. If you, as moderating justice bar me from the proceedings I may appeal elsewhere, but I will not post here you have not done so(and I doubt you will). So this is less a moderation issue than you think. That said, all you are doing is exposing your...
