I am happy to hear the case if another Justice agrees. I believe there is a Constitutional issue here, and probably a violation, though remain unconvinced that the plantiff's claim/request is the appropriate response.

Do I understand correctly that we are not being asked to remove DWTL, but that the plantiff believes DWTL is no longer a Senator? Is there any evidence that can be provided, either public record or testimony of government officials that reinforces the belief that DWTL is no longer a Senator? Have any votes taken place and been tallied since the incident?

Not a perfect parallel, but how is this different from someone who has not yet taken the oath  and does not have Constitutional powers? Once the person does, he/she then assumes these powers. In other words, I see the validity of a claim that while the avatar did not meet Constitutional standards, DWTL did not have the powers of a Senator (again, were any votes made with an incorrect avatar?), but what validates the claim that he has permanently lost his Constitutional powers?

If there's no standing requirement, I may choose to make the court very busy someday indeed.  Smiley

I'm not sure if this is a threat or you have actual cases in mind. Bring it on. Wink

I have sent the other Justices my thoughts on the matter at hand.

Does the defendant (or anyone) have anything (else) to present to the Court?

And now the question is, will opebo show up without being told about this case?

Just waiting for the opportunity to enter my decision.

PM me and Txgurl so we can see what kind of agreement we have.
