I actually see the literal reading that Flem (I think) is using, and that Hileville is probably referring to in terms of Court rulings. As such, Flem has actually managed to inadvertently help me with the Constitutional Omnibus. Weird.
alia12321 and hyanygo's TNP nations have CTE'd. They have been removed and should be remasked.
TheGrandNagus and wolfage have been inactive for 30 days. They have been removed and should be remasked.
Clause correcting "this Constitution" in the Bill of Rights added. Also, I'm just going to get rid of the number in the preamble. I'm not going to have this bogged down because of a part with no legal force that I didn't think was necessary.
Any other issues, or do we think this is ready for a...
I have no problems with a clause like that being written as broadly as possible to cover all possible situations, nor was that what I was ever intending to change. I thought the clause was intended to guarantee some kind of judicial review, since that's what it actually does now, and was...

I've written a draft of a final omnibus proposal, which I was consulting with Eluvatar on. I was hoping to have it posted along with an explanation of...
I said less than 24 hours no more posting random polls in the Constitutional Committee which aren't about constitutional reform.
And then this happens.
What.
Detbyron is hereby admitted and should be remasked.
Divine Fire will have to reapply and actually fill out the form, not just copy and paste it.
Kannedom should be security checked.
Oh wow, the irony. This just made my day. At least one good thing came of this.
But seriously, this poll is ridiculous. I was hoping people would just ignore it and it would be forgotten, but that's obviously not happening. First Tyler's spam poll so he could get the whatever-it-was-th post...
