I'm sorry, your honour, I had meant to refer to the defendant's expectation for a speedy trial.

Your honour, Given the rules regarding the admissibility of screenshots, the prosecution is currently in an ongoing process to allow for their verification in testimony. We estimate that we may require a reasonable extension (a few days) to allow that to happen. We are mindful of the...

There is no way that a tie is more likely than a Trump win. There are simply very few combination of results that lead to a tie. See this from the Times, for example (obviously you would have to weight each scenario by its likelihood, but 315 vs 16 is pretty resounding.)

Next term. Under Section 2 of Amendment XX: This indicates that the new Congress begins on 3 January. That date is confirmed by statute (2 USC 1): Meanwhile, the electoral votes are counted on 6 January, under 3 USC 15 (too long to reproduce here). Keep in mind that each state's delegation...

Your honour, we obviously oppose that, quite frankly frivolous, motion to dismiss. The prosecution's filing is framed as a request for the Court to issue an indictment charging the defendant with six offences: As counsel for the defence notes, the conclusion of our filing notes that the...

Predicting whether someone's lead will sustain itself months in advance in a personality-based Primary requires punditry, not electoral analysis. Silver might not be the Demi-God some make him out to be, but it's unfair to use the Trump thing against him. Presidential elections are inherently...

The only way that'll happen (whether by removing it completely or just rendering it ineffective, a la National Popular Vote Compact) is if a Republican wins the popular vote, and loses the EC. They haven't shown any signs of agreeing to any changes so far. It's a possibility, and it would be a...

I don't know if using embassies is a very good proxy for relations at all. It's mostly convention, honestly. I'd look to treaties instead.

BT doesn't identify as a defender. I'd largely echo what Elu said. Not a vote anyway.

Say that to the force that brought out most troops to defend against the NPA's two failed invasions a few days ago. :fish:

This whole discussion is pretty lulzy. The TNP policy to shut down inactive embassies is fair dinkum, and EU's embassy has been inactive. On the other hand, it's pretty awkward timing to shut down an embassy with a region, after having tried to invade it. Correct me if I'm wrong (and I well...

Delegate: Plembobria Would you like to reopen nominations? No Vice Delegate: Lord Ravenclaw Would you like to reopen nominations? No Speaker: Zyvetskistaahn Would you like to reopen nominations? No

I, Guy, do hereby solemnly swear that during my term as Deputy Attorney General, 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...

I think that a lot of people might pass on. It can be a demanding job the Delegacy.

I completely agree that activity is a critical factor in determining a LoS. This is especially the case if the succession occurs due to an emergency, or otherwise a tumultuous period.

Even supposing that there are inaccuracies, continuing on with my theme of cliches, two wrongs clearly do not make a right here. A much more apt comparison would be actual UNSC resolutions of condemnation. These don't get repealed because "time has passed and there have been some changes"...

The proposal outright lies about the sequence of events. And, whatever changes the NPO has made internally, it still couped Lazarus. This is potentially the single most reprehensible action in NS history, and we're moving on after a month. Let's not get the facts confused here: The NPO...

Congratulations. :)

Against. Abortions should be safe and legal, regardless of method, unless there are exceptionally strong reasons for the WA/state to assert medical judgment on these matters. The proposal at hand gets medical facts wrong, and bans many procedures that do not even resmeble what it is trying to...

I'm obviously in support of me rejoining the SC. McM, will we take bribes for plum seats and pay inflated public money for services. We can call it TNP Inc! [b/c I don't want to get sued the above post in totally in jest and part of a gag]

Court Justice (select up to 3): Eluvatar, Kialga Attorney General: Abstain

In certain circumstances, it is. Cl 18 of Ch 1 of the Code makes it unlawful for any "Nation of The North Pacific" to "perform, order, condone, or accept" any "Spamming". Cl 16 of the Code defines Spamming as: - An act - By a non-regional national - To waste space or cause shock on any...

The Attorney-General's Office has been a little quiet quite recently, so I thought I'd run and let you know what I intend to do with it if elected (nothing shocking, I promise :P). There seem to be a variety of well-equipped people who are involved in the A-G's Office, so I hope that if elected...

I'll stand for A-G.

Justice (select up to 3): Abstain Would you like to reopen nominations? Abstain Attorney General: Abstain Would you like to reopen nominations? Yes

That's an almost less accurate description of events than Nasania's. Wasn't it just last week that Lazarenes replied with incredulity to the proposition that the FRA directs their actions? :P

The part that refers to one of the most defender regions in the game as 'leaning raider', to an invaded-leaning isolationist region as 'internationalist', or to Milograd as more of an FRAer than NPOer? :P

It's probably been done before, and I couldn't care less if someone else does it again.

I do feel that generally, symbols that go to the region's identity belong in the Constitution, or at least in the Legal Code. It's something that we want as many people as possible to have a say over. On the other hand, I don't think that an anthem is really an important part of this, and...
