So who wants to be a Justice?

[Libertarian2004]

I am also interested in being a judge. I beleive firmly that the justices should all be independent of political affiliation. They should also take a straight forward interpretation of the constitution.

I apply for a Judge Duty, but Im almost sure that President will not choose me because of my complains about the elections.

Bump.

I believe in following the law regardless of personal prejudice.

I also believe in the need to explain when a decision is reached. Esp. by all justices, whether it is just we concur with justice X's reasoning, or if it is more detailed. This would help hold each justice accountable to the people.

I also have a reputation to uphold, that of being an honest, fair, impartial man. I would maintain that, even if it resulted in an interpretation of the law that went against public opinion. It is not the justice's job to be popular, but to interpret the law, based on what it currently says. Justice is supposed to be blind. I also agree that a straight interpretation of the law is important. I also see all sides of an issue: the glass is half full and half empty, but it is also all full (half full of water, half full of air = all full); something most people haven't considered.

I don't have strong feelings towards/against any citizens or current/past elected officials. I am willing to speak my mind, even when it is not popular to do so, even if I not in the majority.

Whether or not I am chosen, I hope our elected officials may good choices since the results may be with us for a long time.

I promiss to be the most fair I possibly can about this, and Luk, I wouldn't deny you a chance at all. I hold absolutely nothing against you in any way shape or form. I felt bad that you didn't have what could exactly be considered praise for me, but that isn't exactly an insult that would force me to hold a grudge.

but like i posted in the ammendment thread, this is going to be a VERY hard process. Ive already eliminated some people on the list mentally, because.. i have to choose 2 of 25.. and most of the 25 are highly competent and worthy, and im quite sure you are yourself.

This is gonna be hard.. anyone got a 25 sided dice?

[Kramerman]

I gotta 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and a 20. No.... no I dont see a 25 ... damn wizards of the coast ....

Kman

No wait, heres a 25 sided dice, let me roll it. Oh look, what do you know ... It says I should be a judge, well how do you like that

[Luk]

I know there could be many better candidates from me, so I won't be dissapointed if I will not be choosen...

I personally have nothing against Ninot - he is a president, and he is a president according to Apolytonia Law, and as a Judge I would have nothing to procedures of election of president., because of bad law written in Apolytonia Code of Laws

But Im very strongly at a moral side of this election and good manners. I think this elections were not correct if I look from this side to this elections. It was not a clean race to the presidenture, and as citizen of Apolytonia I feel obligated to say my opinion, that is all. And I admit personally that I wanted Trip to be a president. But it is my political opinion, and my own, personal view of this matter, which should not interfere on the decisions when I will do my job in futher, if I will be (maybe) a real Judge in Republic of Poland

[trevor]

I wouldn't mind

[GodKing]

Sorry Ninot, but I do have a 30 and a 100.
(OK I am one of those geeks that still plays D&D - I've been playing it since 1982 and don't intend to quit now.) Guess that makes me both a geek and an adict....sigh. Oh well - I enjoy it. And it wont kill you as fast as smoking.

[Ninot]

well, who knows, maybe it will

so.. anyone have ideas on who i should nominate? Lets see some campaigning!

[Aggie]

Ninot I have an idea, Since people really shouldn't campaign for a nonpolitical job, I think people should suggest others, for starters I would like to suggest trip and captain. I believe they would both be very knowledgeable and neutral in their interpretation of the laws. Many times they have shown the ability to see both sides of an issue and that is a must in a judge.
Aggie

[Ninot]

Aggie, i completely agree with your suggestions

I know that Trip would be an amazing guy to hold down the job, but he can't stay 3 months.....

Captain, on the other hand, I dont see any downside to. He would just be amazing

[Jon Shafer]

What is the schedule for the justices? Do all of them have to spend 3 month terms?

[Ninot]

No

The ones the President appoints must stick around 3 months
the Vp chooses 1 person for a 2 month term
two minister (i never remember which exactly) elect two 1 month termers.

So, if anyone was to nominate Trip, it wouldnt be me Im guessing (cuz of Trip leaving before 3 months are up)

[Kramerman]

Togas is an attorney in real life, and he was one of many driving forces behind the judicial bill's creation. I think he would be a good choice. Captain is also a good choice. Godking, wervdon, apocolypse and many more all seem like good choices as well. Jeez, this is gonna be hard Ninot, i dunno how you are gonna do it. I'm sure just about everyone whos mentioned interest are all more than capable of the job.
