Okay, will give this a shot. What I'm going to do in proceeding to answer your questions (and feel free to ask follow-ups) is basically how I post: I'm going to try to take as many questions as I can / currently have time for in one post and then pick up where I leave off in subsequent posts.
Admittedly, this is partially a learning experience (which is why I liked the Deputy AG idea) - my intention is to set aside forum time each day to update statutes and what not on the wiki as demanded by the position and as requested. That's no problem. The legal part of it, as AG, will begin with me using my best judgment and directing questions to President Marokai or VP Duke. I do not intend to simply let it slide, and I do not intend to fly blind in the wind. Once I have the hang of it I can proceed more on my own. Okay.
Does the nominee have Wiki access? If not, is that expected soon?
Does the nominee intend on carrying on with the current case?
No, I do not have access to edit the wiki. And I would like you to be more specific with the second question.
How much have experience do you hold in dealing with Atlasian law?
Other than my familiarity with the Constitution I have not worked with it here. However, I would argue that good judgment and a willingness to listen to all sides before making a decision is more important and probably more crucial than experience alone. And of course as AG my job is to interpret and apply the Constitution. That's probably the thing I would look forward to most.
What would your top priorities be as AG? I also echo Nappy's question about the wiki, which is in desperate need of updating.
My single top priority is to enforce / uphold the Constitution, but other top priorities as AG would be, as requested, to update the wiki, and also to seek clarification on, possible revision to, and challenge to statutes or legislation that seems out of line with the Constitution.
Do you believe that the regions are constitutionally obliged to abide by federal election laws, including those related to editing votes and eligibility requirements for voters, unless those laws explicitly exempt regional elections?
A good, specific question.
The answer is, yes. Article IV, Section 3, as I understand it, deals with this in two ways. 1) While regions are generally autonomous they must yield to federal law, which is the highest "law of the land," and 2) powers not specifically dealt with or spelled out by federal law may be relegated to the regions. So yes, the regions are bound by federal law where it is specific, including certainly eligibility requirements.
