Joe Republic vs. DownWithTheLeft

[Keystone Phil]

I see some hypocrisy here. People aren't willing to censure Porce for stalling a vote on a nominee for two weeks, but they're willing the censure DWTL for putting a different avatar up for a few hours. I say that if Joe Republic censures DWTL, he should also censure Porce.

You know, I really think that whether or not Joe has a case here, he's doing this for personal reasons. Don't hold your breath waiting for him to act on Ebowed.

[Keystone Phil]

I don't even know what Ebowed has apparently done wrong, because I haven't been following Senate business that closely.

But you follow it enough to go after DWTL? You know I admire you, Joe, but I have to point out that what you're doing is purely personal and inappropriate.

[Keystone Phil]

I also realize that you did something big to make this look legitimate on your part.

Just eleven minutes later...

I wish to sue Senator DownWithTheLeft for a breach of the Atlasian Constitution.

For a short period of time on June 2nd 2007, the senator used a Tennessee avatar, and had no reference to his residence in New Jersey in his signature at the time.  Although I do not have any proof of this (e.g. a screenshot), I have at least one witness who can verify my claim, and an apparent confession from the senator himself.  If Senator DWTL denies my claim, I will be happy to call said witness and reproduce said confession.

This action is a direct breach of Article V, Section 1, Clause 2 of the Constitution:

You must be logged in to read this quote.

As a result of his action, as he will not have followed this rule for the entire duration of his term, it is my understanding that he has effectively forfeited his seat in the Senate.

Will the Court hear my case?

I'm pretty sure that all of this wasn't revealed to you within ten minutes of your re-registration. You had been researching this for quite awhile but realized that your case wouldn't be as legitimate if you didn't have some proof that you yourself were even active enough to make a case.

We all have our problems with DWTL's behavior here and elsewhere but I didn't expect personal problems that you had with him to boil over into Atlasia.

[Keystone Phil]

I'm not sure what this recent line of questioning regarding my motives has to do with the charges against DWDL, or indeed with the case at all.  Unless you have a legitimate and relevant reason to be participating in this court case, Mr Vice President, I kindly ask you to keep your theories to yourself.

I will address Justice TCash's questions shortly.

I just expected better from you, Joe, and not addressing my point leads me to believe that you know your reasons for bringing this up are inappropriate.

[Keystone Phil]

not addressing my point leads me to believe that you know your reasons for bringing this up are inappropriate.

Almost everyone has done this at some point but nobody has brought it up before, it's only because it's DWTL that it's happening.

I fear President Republic is simply using this technicality as some tool against a Senator who has, in all honesty, been very active.

The questioning of a plaintiffs's motives by unrelated third parties is completely inappropriate behavior in the middle of a court case.

I am happy to hear the case if another Justice agrees.

Where is the other Justice, Joe?

[Keystone Phil]

I'm not sure what that question really has to do with anything, but as you can see I am of course waiting for a decision from Chief Justice TexasGurl and Associate Justice Opebo on whether they will hear the case.

If either or both decide not to, so be it.

It has plenty to do with the subject at hand because you said...

The questioning of a plaintiffs's motives by unrelated third parties is completely inappropriate behavior in the middle of a court case.

...when, as of now, there is no court case. You even acknowledge that a case has not been recognized in your comments above.

[Keystone Phil]

Do you have any further questions that are relevant to the 'potential' case at hand?

No questions. I'll again ask you to admit that this is purely personal betwene you and DWTL and you will, again, ignore it. It is my hope that you not pursue this case.
