Mr. Speaker I believe this vote is overdue.

I wasn’t sure how or when this day would come, but it’s here. Today I resign my post as a member of TNP’s Security Council. It’s been just over 8 years now (since my second confirmation when I remembered to take my oath), and I have seen many colleagues come and go, and many changes both inside...

For

Aye

Given your concern about the timing of the motion that would be an odd assumption to make, and would be even more reason for you not to be concerned with the timing. In any case, I simply wanted to point out that there’s no getting around that no matter when you do it.

Actually @Sil Dorsett under the terms of this omnibus, even if you wait until after November to move it, you’re still going to get an extra two months. That’s because the new provisions won’t allow an election to be earlier than 3 months after the last one, which would be November, meaning the...

I motion for a vote. @Foskeburg

For what it's worth, I don't think anyone would mind, or think you're engaging in a power grab.

The things you’re thinking of were added when we got rid of the AG. I looked and the language with the AG is remarkably simple - were these issues back when we had the AG? I believe if the AG couldn’t prosecute a case, it would just not get prosecuted, and a new AG could continue or discontinue...

My thoughts haven’t changed from roughly a month ago. It’s a big swing so I was hoping there’d be more input, so hopefully this encourages a bit more?

I’m willing to make the change I proposed to have prosecutor appointment be every other judicial cycle, but otherwise I’m inclined to let this draft stand. Any other thoughts on that before I advance?

Delegate Delirium is finally over and we have a winner. It's...me again, in a clear 39-12 victory. Okay. Great effort Chipoli, congrats for making it through the gauntlet. Better luck next time to all of our delegates, whenever next time is. Thank you also to everyone who took a few moments to...

It's been a while, but it's time for more highlights for the delegates who made the cut for automatic entry in the competition. Great Bights Mum: September 7, 2006-February 10, 2007 (156 days); February 12-19, 2007 (7 days); August 20-October 21, 2007 (60 days); October 26, 2007-January 23...

In a bit of an upset, Chipoli defeats McM 34-25, and we now enter the final round of Delegate Delirium. Thank you everyone for participating in this event, which was way, way longer than it usually is, hopefully to the benefit of the event. I hoped that we could make it more meaningful, educate...

You can, and I second your motion.

@Sil Dorsett if you do move your proposal to a new thread, I obviously reiterate my comment about renaming it, and humbly suggest a brief link to this thread starting with your post so the threads are linked for the people who pull it up when viewing archives.

While MadJack has a chance to review do any of you out there have any other thoughts on this?

Halfway through the semi-finals of Delegate Delirium, I have advanced to the finals in a clear 35-7 victory over our reigning champion, Siwale. The next round will decide who faces me: McMasterdonia or Chipoli. Throughout this event, we have seen the power of memory, and the weight recent...

The final round of the Delegate Delirium quarter-finals has concluded! He was dominating in this competition since he began, but Kasch has finally met his match it seems. Appropriate for the first seed to win this handily 41-20 I suppose, if not a tad predictable, but there you have it. After...

With the additional tweak you added to remove the second BC assignment clause, this has my full support.

I’m operating on two thought processes here: the infrequency of prosecution in general, and the lack of prosecution of former delegates outside of Tomb ten years ago; and the general principle that you cannot fully remove every risk and must at some point rely on people doing the right thing and...

I am not sure you actually took the advice to heart, considering you 1)put off applying the advice to a future bill and 2)motioned for a vote despite not having adjusted the bill in any way, or without anyone having had a chance to weigh in on it. I am afraid I will be casting my vote against...

The third round of the Delegate Delirium quarter-finals has concluded! It seems I have surpassed god. Flemingovia finally goes down after a long, well-fought run, falling short in a 36-12 result. With that, I move on to the semi-finals, where I will face off against Siwale in a rematch of an...

We’ve done it at least once before, when the RA approved BC for Nessie, utilizing the non-emergency aspect. Emergency or not, however, the delegate picking 3 BC officers among all SC members by default does eliminate this clause as a consideration I would think. The only way to escalate from...

Just wanted to highlight my question again @Great Bights Mum Specifically, it’s not actually the emergency section of the code, it’s the very next clause from the one you’re seeking to amend: Would we amend this or remove it entirely?

In my opinion, the Attorney General as a concept wasn’t just the specific duties were mimicking with this bill. It was an elected office that stood alongside the others, it had weight and a symbolic place in our regional makeup. I do not wish to create a new, lesser Attorney General office...

The second round of the Delegate Delirium quarter-finals has concluded! How the mighty have fallen…I was quite surprised to see such a terrible showing from r3n given he had repeatedly made it to the finals in previous events and this plus his indelible footprint on the region had him ranked as...

I actually don’t see why we would use these. The new AG is a position equivalent to the Court Examiner, which doesn’t have a user group. Like the Court Examiner, there’s no guarantee the new AG will actually do anything during the four months they’re appointed. They have no standard or regular...

The original AG language included a provision for deputies, which would handle these matters when the AG could not. I can see that leaving that out of the bill is opening a potential can of worms, so it looks like I will have to adapt this language as well. I left it out because it was not my...

After seeing our bar commission drop once again to a single member, and noticing the list of bar members drop to 3, in conjunction with our recent history of trials or lack thereof, I am forced to conclude that this latest iteration of our judicial process has also failed . We cannot keep up...
