The White House

[RIP Robert H Bork]

Mr. President,

I hereby resign the position as Chief Justice and my seat on the Supreme Court of Atlasia effective upon the confirmation of my sucessor.  It has been an honor to serve on the bench these last two years but I think it is time for a change--for myself, the court, and the country. Should you require any advice as to who should follow me, I am at your service.


Dave bless Atlasia,

Bullmoose88, CJ

Nooooooooooooo!

BULLMOOSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why couldn't you have stayed! No!!!

[Bacon King]

Sad to see you go, bullmoose

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Sought of assumed that this Court would last forever. Oh well - sad to see you go.

A little change every now and then is good, besides, I won't be disappearing, just attacking new challenges.

Are you running for President in February?

Wasn't planning on it at this time.  My interests remain in the legal realm, just in a different capacity.

[Хahar 🤔]

Are we on the topic of the Supreme Court? Old quotes time!

I can't say that I have any faith in opebo or Texasgurl to uphold the laws of our Region (much less Atlasia).

Damnit, you got to it first.

     Whatever you do next, I hope you have fun doing it, bullmoose. Good luck.

Hah!

Even though I feel sad to see bullmoose go, he has a point about change - it is exciting!  Who might the new Justice be?  Its an intriguing development in Atlasian politics.  Will the balance of the Court change?  I'll be sitting on the edge of my seat.

When will we hear more about this process?  Mr. President?

[Јas]

Best of luck bullmoose!

I'm sorry to hear of your resignation Bullmoose. I will begin looking for a replacement immediately. If anyone is interested, feel free to PM me.

I have three thoughts in mind as to who I assume it will be. Two have already been on the Court though, so not sure what the likelihood of that is.

I still don't.  That's not particularly news around here.

If the balance of the Court doesn't change, I'll be surprised.

[opebo]

I'm very curious who will be nominated, obviously.  If I had to hazard a guess the nominee will be centrist to center-left, replacing our center-right current CJ.  But you never know with these things.

Best of luck bullmoose!

I have received a lot of PMs about the position, and I want you to know that I am and will continue to look over them all. I hope to have narrowed the candidates down by the weekend and will then interview the remaining candidates and hopefully announce my pick by the end of next week.

[DownWithTheLeft]

Just pick Bgwah, hes the most qualified and has shown he can be impartial when it matters

Your mancrush on him is amusing.

[Lief 🗽]

Under the powers of the Xahar Complains Too Much Act of 2009, I hereby delegate the responsibility to update the introduction thread to Senator Marokai Blue.

Any update on when we will know?

[Lief 🗽]

Hopefully by today or tomorrow. It is, as I hope you'll all understand, a really difficult decision, and without a doubt the hardest I've had to make as President.

Just be careful Mr. President, or there'll be a new Senate seated by the time confirmation rolls around.
