Also I rather think the prohibition on holding multiple offices should remain, at least for the Delegate/VD/Speaker vs Court in this instance.

I feel like the regional bar requirement is useless - the Bar Commission is by law composed of a Justice selected by the other Justices, one appointed without confirmation by the Delegate, and one appointed with confirmation by the Court. Either we would need a new method of selecting...

I don’t see why we couldn’t strike out the legal code references if we wanted, I just don’t know if we need to get that granular.

As it has been 7 days, the time for the submission of briefs is now closed and the Court will deliberat.

This is the appropriate place to post, as this thread (and forum) are for any reasonable discussion of ongoing Court matters, as little use as it sees

In the interest of getting the ball rolling (and in absence of any reason to not accept it), I have accepted the indicated R4R the Court Examiner posted two days ago.

This request for review is accepted and I will serve as moderating Justice. As it is a Court Ruling being questioned there are not inherently any directly respondent members of government. However, responses from members of the Election Commission would be particularly reasonable, given the...

@Wymondham @Eluvatar any thoughts or edit notes on the above?

I would note that the defendant is a citizen again, so the timing of the start is no longer complicated.

I do apologize, I forgot to do so officially - the Court has been discussing such judgement/sentencing since roughly a day or so after both recommendations were submitted.

I, Lord Dominator, do hereby solemnly swear that during my term as Bar Commissioner, I will uphold the ideals of Democracy, Freedom, and Justice of The Region of The North Pacific. I will use the powers and rights granted to me through The North Pacific Constitution and Legal Code in a legal...

In any case, we should actually deliberate on sentencing - any thoughts on the (plea deal) of two months as suggested?

Excellent. Presuming that defense counsel does not object to this, we are now in the sentencing phase. I recognize that there is a partial recommendation included in the given plea, however the floor remains open for any elaboration as to why. I will set the time available for submitting any...

Before we move to sentencing & the arguments with it, I would ask which one of the gross misconduct charges is intended to be dropped - by my count there is one each for the citizenship oath and NPA oath.

Yes

@Comfed & @Wymondham, any thoughts with what the defendant (or someone supposedly posting on their behalf) has posted?

I am going to consider the lack of response to be due to the Christmas holiday, but I would ask for a response of some kind here from the defense @Comfed, whether that’s to do with the plea or a need for more communication time with the defendant.

While the intention of the indicated post was to present options, the point is made. In consideration of both posts then I would ask Counsel that you do determine with the defendant that they understand what pleading guilty means - the questions of the prosecution are a sufficient basis there -...

@NorthArdenyan @Comfed In relation to that the Court recognizes two pleas: Not Guilty, in which you are indicating that you contest the basic facts/presented in the accepted indictment and wish to contest them. The trial will then continue on to evidence submission followed by argumentation...

Ah yes, I apparently can’t read today. Given that, I will set three days presumptively for plea submission, that should be sufficient. Further scheduling will be based on the plea of course.

Excellent, apologies. Am I to take from the request to move into plea submission that the defendant is pleading guilty then? I ask, due to the lack of explicit statement of such.
