Public Discussion on the Supreme Court Cases (Avoid Cluttering Case Threads)

[Franzl]

The judicial system has turned into a witchhunt (seriously what the hell did Sewer Socialist do to deserve a trial?)

Well that's what the trial is for....to see what he allegedly did wrong

[Franzl]

We still haven't the slightest clue what Hamilton is supposed to have done. Though if that case, and Sewer's, have as little basis as the other suit bgwah has been threatening against Hamilton in that case, then it is high time this off-the-rocker pursuer of personal vendettas be stopped in the only constitutionally acceptable way. Which is impeachment. (Though it does seem there must be some substance to the Hamilton case - judging purely from Ham's behavior.)

We're working on getting the ball rolling, but you'll surely see soon enough

[Franzl]

Of course Marokai wants more justices now when there is a liberal in the White House.

Do you have anything intelligent to say....ever?

[Franzl]

As my client has stated, I am serving as defense counsel in this case.

I require a short while to review this case before we make decisions about what to plea and, should it be necessary, what type of trial to request.

Wow,  I guessed right.

How did you guess?

[Franzl]

A very sensible ruling by the court.  It is the AG's job to prosecute violations of the law.  To say that he must be directly affected by the violation- i.e. "have standing"- prevents him from doing his job.

Only problem is the "defendent" is not accused of violating a federal law.

[Franzl]

Huh?  The defendant is accused of violating the federal CONSTITUTION.

So? The Attorney General is there to enforce the laws of the Republic of Atlasia. Things such as voter fraud, impersonation of another poster, other CCJA crimes, etc. all fall under the AG's jurisdiction.

But the Republic of Atlasia certainly does not have standing to sue in something like this, IMO, and I would have joined Spade's dissent were I a member of the Court.

A citizen of the Northeast should be doing this.

[Franzl]

I really don't understand your reasoning.  The constitution has been violated.   The AG, according to you, is there to enforce the laws of the Republic of Atlassis.  This includes the constitution.

I would have to disagree there. From a legal perspective, they're totally different things.
