Nice to see the Admin team is encouraging the assault on the the Court's decorum by attacking a Justice for attempting to maintain order in their courtroom. May we take this as blanket permission to post wherever we like, trolling, so long as the person opened themselves up to it first? Or do...

"The principal command of statutory construction is that the court should determine and effectuate the intent of the legislature using the plain language of the statute as the primary indicator of legislative intent." State v. Ogden, 118 N.M. 234, 242, 880 P.2d 845, 853 (1994). “The words of a...

The Prosecution requests that the Court extend Discovery to at least 10 days. The details of this case will require the Prosecution to work with a number of witnesses whose availability varies, and with a Defense counsel whose availability is unknown to the Prosecution. Given the need for...

It's not a case I can take, for ethical reasons, nor would it be appropriate for me to appoint the person whom I would face in the Courtroom. The Acting Delegate is aware of the issue; I can't make him act faster.

It's purely a function of man-hours for drafting. Bel had them, and was lead on that project in terms of drafting; I don't, and am handling this personally. Believe it or not, this office is capable of working on more than one thing at a time. I will be preparing it today, when, as I had...

Should the Court choose to review this issue, my only comment would be that the Court must adhere to the Constitution in all things, and the Constitution establishes rather clearly that: Emphasis mine. Petitioner has made no claim that he is an affected party, so I'm not entirely sure the...

<AG Hat> I will remind the interim delegate that he needs to appoint a special prosecutor - I haven't heard follow-up from him on it.</AG Hat>

My thanks to the Court.

Do you have a reason why "either doing something illegal or acting in TNP for outside interests" is so unacceptable?

The problem with "and" is that there are a fuckton of things I can think of people doing which are not technically illegal but are absolutely against the best interests of The North Pacific. it's also incredibly hard to prove someone's intent or underlying motives - they may seem apparent to a...

Can we change Deputy Attorney General to Assistant Attorney General? I like that better I think. >_>

Indeed. Hit me up when you're back.

Sometime after I finish this 6000 word paper that's due in 30 hours. It would have been the priority for this weekend, but broader events have transpired which have required it to share the attentions of this office.

As a general rule, I support obvious decisions.

Though, amusingly, Gov will never see this, I have thus far invited Belschaft and Reginald Carmichael/Sovreignry to work with me as Deputies, and I continue to accept and review applications as they come in.

I think TNP needs to fund my bar bill.

Your responses are appreciated.

You've cited a desire to raise our profile in the broader NS world - how much experience do you actually have out in that world? Contacts, relationships, etc which will be usable by you in actually achieving that goal?

Regardless of what your opinion may be regarding those facts, noone is exempt from their legal duties and obligations, just as noone may be unlawfully deprived of the rights that those same laws confer.

Pursuant to this statement, I will, as I have previously stated, open an investigation into this matter. Wherever appropriate pursuant to that investigation, charges will be brought. I hope to have the full cooperation of all elements of the Government as I conduct this investigation.

As an addendum to what I mentioned on IRC to Abbey and Sanct today (the Court shouldn't rush itself in the future, and should actually explain its reasoning in some way), I would appreciate it if the Court would explain why it *didn't* rule in the alternative, as well as make sure to abide by...

I would expect that precedent regarding the absence of a name from a ballot would indicate that a new vote is necessary. The ruling of that Court was built on the idea that voters must be exposed to the final, complete ballot for the entirety of the voting period; that would not be the case...

The FOIA contains, in relevant part, the following provision: The Constitution, which incorporates the Bill of Rights as equally binding and supreme over other laws, contains the following provision: The Bill of Rights provides the following protections to all nations of The North Pacific...

Sov/Reginald Carmichael, too.

Belschaft needs masking as a Deputy Attorney General. I know the group is Deputy Prosecutor, but can we change that to Deputy Attorney General? I like consistency >_>

With all due respect, I don't think you pay enough attention to the workings of the judicial system to understand just how petty, pedantic, and litigious TNP has become over the last year.

*shrug* I don't happen to think it's necessary - under the current system, there's nothing to stop the AG (and I intend to do this) from investigating (as is reasonable and should happen in all cases) and then submitting an indictment to the Court with a recommendation attached indicating...

Noted. Also, I'm not a judge anymore, so you can just call me Gaspo. :P

I have split this out of the old catch-all thread, and at least titled it with the new format. I will address this matter within the coming days. Any substantive evidence you have available would assist me greatly in this matter, flem - please note that without actual evidence it is unlikely...
