Something I just realized about the Supreme Court

[windjammer]

I'm noW the longest chief justice Atlasia ever had since its beginning (2004), I have been Chief Justice for almost 3 years now!!!!

I'm perfectly aware that the Supreme Court is something quite obscure for the current players of this simulation so maybe I should use this occasion to bring details about how the Supreme Court works? In an interview or in a "Ask me anything about the supreme court" thread perhaps?

[At-Large Senator LouisvilleThunder]

The John Marshall of Atlasia speaks out!

[Sestak]

All hail eternal Chief Justice Jambles!

[Esteemed Jimmy]

All hail eternal Chief Justice Jambles!

[Former President tack50]

The Supreme Court is by far the most obscure part of Atlasia's government so we'd gladly listen to more explanations!

Trying to get some questions out:

Would you rather have more court cases? The Supreme Court only sees like 3 cases a year on average after all

Favourite court case?

How do deliberations between judges work? After all there is no information about them in the case threads

What's your opinion about the Supreme Court being to a large extent a "comfy retirement position"?

And of course feel free to tell us more about the third forgotten branch of Atlasia

[YE]

All hail eternal Chief Justice Jambles!

Yes please.

Usually by PM.

As, I believe, the oldest continuously registered Atlasian, and as probably the only veteran of every Constitutional Convention we've ever had, this pleases me

Texasgurl v. Fritz was 15 years ago. 

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Off with his head.

[Continential]

How does the court work?
Also,

All hail eternal Chief Justice Jambles!

Sorry for the delay, I was extremely busy.

Oh definitely, I miss BK and Ben Kenobi being active. It makes the game much more interesting.

Favourite court case?

BaconKing vs Rpryor, probably the most court case since I'm a Justice because I was able to outline my constitutional beliefs: a limited role of the Supreme Court (with massive power basically given to the officeholders) and a strict respect of the constitution (not ignoring part of the constitution when it's "convenient" or rewriting the meaning of it).

Usually a Justice PMs the rest of the Justices about this case. We first decide if we take or not. If we take the case, we deliberate by PMs.

What's your opinion about the Supreme Court being to a large extent a "comfy retirement position"?

It's a very good thing. Less involved the Supreme Court Justices are, more likely they are not to be influenced by what is going in the game.


Any other questions? Like about the "political" "judicial" positions about the current Justices?

[P. Clodius Pulcher did nothing wrong]

Thank you all for your service to our great Republic.

And btw,
I really would like some court cases on abortion. The previous rulings were based on the third constitution and can't apply anymore as the clause is no longer part of the constitution.

This is the main point I try to stress about the nature of past rulings possibly being carried over. Many of those rulings were based on passages of the Constitution that were present in the Third but not necessarily in the fourth Constitution. It seems to come back up regularly on Discord every so often.

The BK/BK ticket was a fun thing.

Wow, Windjammer is still around. Incredible!
