    DISCUSSION: TNP vs Matt

    Hmm? I didn't see Flem lay down the rationale for charging someone with treason. As far as I can tell, Flem only talked about putting someone on trial for breaking laws, in general. If a specific impeachment bit was brought up elsewhere, many apologies for not having seen it.

    DISCUSSION: TNP vs Matt

    As far as I know, there is no mention of "treason" in in-game rules. All constructs of treason are defined out of the proper. It is a product of this Government, as governed by this Constitution, and its definition is enshrined in the Legal Code, as passed by this Government. He is on trial for...

    TNP v. Emperor Matthuis

    However, Your Honor, the portion of the Constitution quoted by Defense Counsel is not relevant in this situation. Should the case go to trial, I agree that a jury must be drawn up. However, we are arguing that the facts of this case are so cut and dry--so incontrovertible--that a full trial is...

    TNP v. Emperor Matthuis

    "Treason" is defined very simply in the Legal Code. Two conditions must be met in order for an action to be declared "treasonous". CONDITION ONE may be fulfilled in one of two ways: "taking arms...for the purpose of undermining or overthrowing the lawful government of The North Pacific...as...

    Of course not. The "legally recognized by the Constitutional Government of The North Pacific" bit goes without saying. Semantics, pah!

    FINAL PRELIMINARY DISCUSSION:

    Personally, I think that the Executive should have some veto power. The choices, then, would be to either give it to the Delegate solely or the Cabinet as a body. Despite being appointed, a Cabinet vote allows for slightly more impartiality. The will of the Cabinet less approximates tyranny...

    TNP v. Emperor Matthuis

    Given that Emperor Matthuis has: 1) presented himself 2) explicitly not entered a plea, and 3) made it clear that he will never enter a plea, I ask the Court, once again, to shorten the amount of time the defendant still has to enter a plea. The default plea is "not guilty". When he makes his...
