    The power of the court

    Well, the RA could be given the specific power to void court decisions, although the RA may of course already legislate to overrule a court decision by changing the law to that end. The problem I see with moving such matters to the RA is that such a procedure is likely to be much longer then it...

    Security Council Suspensions Amendment

    Well, I do agree with CoE that we need a bit more consideration in general. I also intended to say something before but got distracted by a recent court decision I felt I had to respond to. ok, to the matter at hand Since suspensions hapen due to low endorsement count and a suspended SC member...

    Request for Review

    I also request that both the sitting justices and all THO's involved in the case resulting in the decision that is the subject of this review recuse themselves as all have a conflict of interest.

    Security Council Suspensions Amendment

    I object to scheduling a vote, I think more debate is required before a vote

    The power of the court

    A known weakness of the TNP constitution is that the court as the first and final arbiter of what is and is not constitutional can effectively nullify the constitution and the Bill of Rights by simply refusing to address obvious violations. For a long time this issue was solved by a certain...

    request to join a request for review

    I have filed a request for review on the recent sua sponte decision by the court, I invite the AG's office to join the case or make it its own as I believe there is amajor public interest at stake here that should not be decided on my standing alone.

    Request for Review: The Court's Illegal Review of an RA Proposal

    It appears to me this decision is severely in need of review itself and while the Matrioshka effect of reviewing decisions on a decision to review something is regrettable I have filed a request for review to that end, the court really needs to reconsider its positions here. I cordially invite...

    Request for Review

    What law, government policy, or action (taken by a government official) do you request that the Court review? The decision by the court here 2. What portions of the Constitution, Bill of Rights, Legal Code, or other legal document do you believe has been violated by the above? How so? The...

    Request for Review: The Court's Illegal Review of an RA Proposal

    TNP is going to need a court of appeals badly to sort out this kind of mess Is it really the courts opinion that its own actions are entirely beyond review? And is it also the courts opinion that unilateral and unconstitutional expansions of its power are not a serious matter that warrants...

    No idea what you main nation is, but look forward to the amended request for review and see what the court makes of it.

    Court Review Service

    yes, I'd like to challenge the decision by the election commissioners as well and force new elections I wasnt a citizen at the time of the elections but that's no reason I shouldnt be allowed to have the results overturned and be able to run in new elections. And of course I just cant pass up...

    Court Review Service

    Ok, I really dont want to wait to run for justice now, so, since CoE will not file it, can you make any modifications on standing necessary for me to file it so we can have new elections? I'll file it too. :voldy:

    Request for Review: The Court's Illegal Review of an RA Proposal

    Your honors, I offer the following brief for the consideration of the court in this matter. The remit of the court is detailed in article 5 of the the constitution, clause 1: 1. The Court will try all criminal cases, resolve conflicts or ambiguities in the law, and review the...

    Closing Legal Loopholes Amendment

    The BoR already assumes the existence of a constitution and declares that TNP is to be governed democratically. It could certainly come to include a clause that says it can only be changed by 75% majority vote of all TNP citizens, there would be no need to move the workings of the RA to the BoR...

    Closing Legal Loopholes Amendment

    If the BoR is self-executing there is no loophole, but since the constitution has come to include an article incorporating the BoR and also has rules for amending the rule that isnt obvious. I think your view is a good way to structure it, but also think it would in that case be best to...

    Closing Legal Loopholes Amendment

    The BoR does not make it explicit that it is indeed self-executing and in the past it was felt necessary to incorporate it in the constitution so it isnt obvious that it is. So rather then amend the constitution would the proper way be to amend the BoR to remove all doubt that it is indeed...

    Request for Review: The Court's Illegal Review of an RA Proposal

    I disagree, the ability, or lack thereof, of the court to review RA motions before they become law still has relevance and the (acting) AG has standing to put anything before the court, no specific interest needed.

    Closing Legal Loopholes Amendment

    Do you refer to the reference to article 1 that some found problematic? I do not think this is a huge issue since you lock that and its number in place, can even make this specific by adding that a renumbering would require a 75% majority.

    The Ombudsman bill

    As currently proposed the Ombudsman seems wholly redundant with the functions of the court and AG's office. Now when countries have an Ombudsman's office its task is usually to deal with complaints about government conduct that is (most likely) legal and thus not something for a court to deal...

    Closing Legal Loopholes Amendment

    Since determination of the vote seems snarled up in legal issues I will take the opportunity to add that I think it is decidedly inelegant, even downright ygly, drafting to stuff the constitutional applicability of the bill of rights in an article on amendments. I suggest a proper amendment...

    Motion to Declare an Emergency Situation

    An emergency is noticed yet there is a complete failure to propose an adequate response? Disappointing! A few words in a text field can hardly do enough to bring full christmas cheer to TNP. If the motion were withdrawn and replaced with one that calls on the regional government to decorate...
