Citizens against Court Case #9

[adaMada]

civman2000,
Without commenting on who you think's voted each way -- very interesting thoughts, but I'd rather not speak much at all until the vote's back -- I'd just like to point out that Togas implied (or it seems that he did to me) that the vote was split but not tied by saying that they'd post a minority/majority decision if they couldn't reach some sort of conclusion amoungst themselves.

Just thought I'd point it out -- I'm not really sure, might be wrong .

Yes, Togas said that there would be a majority and minory decision if they couldn't reach an agreement.

Perhaps it's a 3-2 with GodKing on the winning side?

[GodKing]

That is correct - the vote came out 3-2, but on each side there were people that saw the other position. We will be discussing this over the next day or so, and if people change their mind.. well, so be it. I was the last to vote, and I didn't know that everybody else had voted and that it was a tie... I almost did abstain.

[civman2000]

Oops, you're right. Now my prediction, after looking through the thread again (1-5 is a measure of how certain i am):
Veto is valid: Nimitz (3), GodKing (2), jdjdjd (2)
Veto is invalid: Togas (5), Sheik (1)

I'd like to ask that the Judges NOT reveal how we're split until the final decision comes out ... as this sort of speculation is just too fun to read, and I don't want to spoil any possible debates.

I'm curious to read what other observers think the vote might be.

I'm following this discussion with a good deal of interest as well -- it's facinating .

civman -- on the measure of how sure you are. Is 1 the most sure and 5 the least, or vice versa?

Togas,

As for "other observers", I sure hope you voted for the veto being invalid Because if you didn't, I may just run for President again in 2 terms just so I don't re-appoint you to the Court the second time around!

(and that's from the President whose veto would be rescinded!)

[Spiffor]

Arnelos :
Didn't your character in the RP team just die ?

[Arnelos]

No clue... my ISP was acting up A LOT over the past few days and I haven't been visiting the RP forum a lot in the past few days. It's been the most I could do with my horrible internet connection to just load up a few election thread pages (3-4 minutes a piece...).

[GeneralTacticus]

Did he? If he did, he made no requests for funeral aragements, which is somewhat suspicious.

EDIT: crossposted.

Would you do the same for any of the other Judges who are up for reappointment this term? Such a "threat" might stir things up a little.

If The Court stays this busy and this influential, we may start seeing purely political appointments to the Court and appointment hearings for new Judges by the Senate ... maybe the Senate can grill the nominee before voting ... ask them how they would decide certain "hot topic" issues, bring out their dirty laundry, ask them if they'd over turn Roe v. Wade, etc.

Fun times, indeed.

Considering how Dull the in-game stuff's getting -- it could provide a welcome distraction . Obviously, it'd take some integrity away from the court, but it'd make things a lotta fun .
