The Judicial Branch (Supreme Court) PASSED

[MyRescueKittehRocks]

None of the above. Names of specific citizens shouldn't be in the constitution. If I'm thinking in error I will consider changing my vote.

[Unconditional Surrender Truman]

None of the above. Names of specific citizens shouldn't be in the constitution. If I'm thinking in error I will consider changing my vote.

See my proposed amendment: the text would refer to the "most senior justice," "second most senior justice," etc., not the names of the people themselves.

[MadmanMotley]

[ X ] None of the Above

[Leinad]

PRINCIPLE VOTE on RETENTION

Question: In what capacity, if at all, should the incumbent Supreme Court Justices be retained?

[ 2 ] Plan "A"
[ 1 ] Plan "B"
[ 4 ] None of the Above
[ 3 ] Abstain

None of the above. Names of specific citizens shouldn't be in the constitution. If I'm thinking in error I will consider changing my vote.

If that was the case I'd agree, but as Truman says, they won't be.

Wait, did the convention actually adopt my idea of having the associate judges ride circuit as chief judicial officer in their regions? If so, bravo!

Or did someone else have that idea before me? Looking at the thread I see bore proposed something similar. Either way, I appear to be the first to connect this to the idea of sitting in circuit. I humbly request my name be entered in the record as having contributed at this stage.

And you deserve recognition, indeed you do.

The Bore-Kingpoleon-Truman-Leinad-Simfan plan!

It was a team effort. I suppose it wouldn't hurt to credit you with an assist as well.

Uh, neither Truman nor Leinad had their contributions finalized, and I don't think Bore knew of Simfan's plan.

In all seriousness, while I did do the final touches, the credit really just goes to Bore and maybe Simfan.

As for the current vote, I can't support any Justice becoming the regional judicial boss without passing the Assembly and Governor.

Not to sound like Trump, but without my help I'm not sure if it would've became a topic of conversation. I was the first one to express my support for Bore's idea after he had it.

(Yeah, that totally sounded like Trump. Intentionally. But me and Truman were a big part of fleshing the idea out and passing it.)

1. B
2. A

To clarify (for Truman's sake), this is replacing your previous vote, correct?

[Unconditional Surrender Truman]

Since the vote is tied currently, I will extend the voting period for another 24 hours, to end tomorrow evening at 9:26 PM (EST).

[Leinad]

Since the vote is tied currently

This is why the "none of the above" people (well, everyone really, but in these case them specifically) should enter more preferences. I never understood why someone would simply enter one preference in an IRV election, unless they're 100% sure it's one of the top two...

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

None of the above

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

FTR, I don't favor making any changes to the court, and I think having regions nominate their own judges to the federal court blurs the line between federal and regional courts.

[Kingpoleon]

I would have voted NOTA and had an exhausted ballot, simply because we don't have a way to confirm them for regional justices. I encourage all to vote NOTA until that part is worked out.

It seems some might have NOTA as sore losers of which one we picked, also. I suggest we fix  this to have them confirmed as regional justices.

I just...don't like where the court is headed

NOTA - FWIW.
