Lincoln v Republic of Atlasia

[Pragmatic Conservative]

Greeting Honorable Justices

Toady I am filling suit against the Republic of Atlasia on the behalf of Lincoln alleging that Executive Order #005 is illegal as it violates the Reintroduction of Top Secret Classification Act. As stated in the Reintroduction of Top Secret Classification Act only the GM may have the power to determine which individuals not listed in the bill may receive classified information and the President may not have the power to unilaterally declassify information.  


 Executive Order #005:

Can the petitioner be changed to another name. I don't see any regional aspect to the case so why use Lincoln name when you can use any citizen.

historically stuff like "standing" and the technicalities of who is suing on behalf of who has been brushed but I agree that the petitioner probably shouldn't be listed as a regional government unless they are a member of the regional government acting in their official capacity (or a third party delegated by such official). If anything it sounds like it's most accurate for the Game Moderator to be listed as the official plaintiff although the GM's direct involvement in the legal system in such a manner, even if in name only, would be quite unorthodox (and unless I'm forgetting something, it hasn't happened since literally 2006!)

Typically in this kind of situation the person filing the suit is considered the petitioner and official listed party in the lawsuit (and historically, multiple cases known for example as 1184AZ v Atlasia would be just listed using Roman numerals (e.g. the fourth time I sued the government of the "Dirty South" under DWTL, it was called "Bacon King v Southeast IV".

This is not exactly consistent with IRL legal terminology but potential alternative nomenclature could perhaps be "In re Executive Order #005 or something to that effect.

On Nov. 22 President Weatherboy issued the following executive order to expand authorization of classified information.

Further the constitution does not grant the President power to choose who can receive classified information. Instead the constitution remains silent on that matter which we can confer suggests that the Reintroduction of Top Secret Classification Act should serve as the main regulatory standard for classified information in Atlasia.

Sorry for being slow. I have been victim of a scam. My Activity will get back to normal this week end.

I have been informed by Attorney General Bacon King that he will be unavailable in the next 48 hours due to an IRL issue.

issue has been solved! expect brief soon

Thank you for your brief 118AAZ.

[Bacon King]

Your honor,

I move for a summary dismissal of this case due to a lack of justiciable controversy. While the issue raised by the petitioner was valid, it is now moot.

1. Between the issuance of Executive Order #005 and the present there has been no dissemination of classified material to any individual not authorized by the Reintroduction of Top Secret Classification Act (ROTSCA)

2. The President has since issued Executive Order #007, amending EO #005 by harmonizing it with the security clearance rules of ROTSCA:

Indeed, as this executive order has been revoked and changed, there is no standing anymore.

The case is dismissed.
