As submitted by Peter Bell, Attorney General:

----------------------------------------------------

Supreme Court Jurisdiction and Authority Amendment[/u]

1. Article III Section 2 of the Constitution is hereby repealed.

2. No Court within the Forum, State, Regional or Federal, shall rule on a case unless the plaintiff shall have legal standing.

3. The Supreme Court shall be the sole body in the Forum with the authority to nullify or void federal laws.

4. The Supreme Court shall only be able to nullify or void a law in the event that the law explicitly contradicts the Constitution.

----

Supremacy of the Constitution and Federal Law Amendment[/u]

1. The Constitution is the Supreme Law of the Land. All other forms of law are inferior to it.

2. Amendments to the Constitution are for all intents and purposes a part of the Constitution.

3. All federal law passed by the Senate is superior to any law or Constitution of the various Regions and States, as long as the said law is authorised by the Constitution.

----------------------------------------------------

Please vote Yea or Nay on both amendments.

We will continue discussion of exactly what powers we grant to the Senate elsewhere.

Both Amendments have now passed:

Supreme Court Jurisdiction and Authority Amendment: 7-0-0
(worst possible vote is 7-3-0)
Supremacy of the Constitution and Federal Law Amendment: 6-0-1
(worst possible vote 6-3-1, which is still a 2/3 majority)

I suggest the PPT does both these amendments, along with the Organized Party Amendment in one thread so that we do not clutter up the Fantasy Election Board too much.

I declare both these amendments to have passed the Senate and will call for a public vote on both these and the Organized Party Amendment as requested by Peter Bell.
