Technically the UC is supposed to set new standards for bar admission. It could literally say, "just ask."

I definitely think any time the Avocat-Xheneral quits so that he can swear at people more, while at the same time the results of an activity survey arrive to report on why people are drifting away, it will generate a lot of discussion. I do not recommend repeating these particular strategies, but we're certainly a lot more lively around here than we have been in a while. Plus there's more off-Witt activity, too, which is great! I can say, with no mixed feelings, that it is better when more Talossans are doing Talossa, and this Government has helped inspire some folks. Well done Source: Elise Huther Art Alex, you intentionally mislead people and lie. You insult people worse than I ever could, but obfuscate the insult with clever vernacular. You are offended because I dare curse, while I'm offended that you countenance and engage in utter deceitfulness. You've condoned homophobic comments and yourself engaged in transphobic behavior. So people can think me crass, but I think their moral compass is severely off, and in want of an actual foundation. Alex, unlike you, I don't need to lie.

I know our whole world is polarized right now, but we should rise above that. If you have nothing nice to say, don’t say it. If you can’t refrain from personal attacks, find a punching bag and pummel it. The reason the US is in the state it is in is because we played too much of the "when they go low, we go high" game. I'd rather the person tell me to my face that I don't have a right to exist in society instead of smiling at me and not saying anything because "(i)f you have nothing nice to say, don't say it."

Some people take Talossa too seriously. Remember, Talossa was founded by a teenager in his bedroom. Just chill. Actually I think R B Madison said it was in his lounge the Declaration of Independence in his citizenship reapplication I've always known it to have been his literal bed in his bedroom.

I appreciate the Senator from M-M's thought in this, but I think this proposed bill may go too far. Perhaps unlocking the Senechal, Distain, and Justices from cross posts is okay, with the understanding that refusal is required when there is an actual or appearance of a conflict of interest.

Forbid comments directly expressing opinions about other MZs? Debates on bills in the Hopper or in the respective chambers of the Ziu should be addressed to the Lord President or Tuischac'h, per Robert's Rules. But we should be able to openly question the motives of an MZ. Perhaps addressing it to the Chair, ostensibly a "third-party," may take out some of the bite one might be prone to put in a direct response to an MZ.

Fair enough. Perhaps where, as here, the terp is made in the Ziu and not the Senate, and made by the Lord President, the Tuischac'h should address the point of order.
In any event, please let's not make this into something it's not--a call for TERP reform or something.

Err... a point of order by a MC, in a terp from a Senator to another Senator, directed to the Speaker of the Cosa, it seems? I guess I'll handle it myself, since surely the Tuischac'h has no business intervening in the Senate. The Leader of the Opposition has the floor. Points of clarification - the TERP was made in the Ziu board and not in the Senate forum. Further, while the TERP is appropriately made at the Minister of Stuff, it is wholly irrelevant that the Minister happens to be a Senator. I believe I tried something analogous (TERPing a Senator by virtue of being a Senator) against Glüc or Lüc some time ago because their party was in Government, and was shot down because they were not a member of the Cabinet (I could be misremembering so correct me if I'm wrong). Following that logic, however, you terp'ed a cabinet member who happens to be a Senator, not a Senator, in the Ziu forum. Hence, I think, procedurally speaking, Etho is on solid ground to make a point of order. I do not comment on the substance or merits of the point of order, just that I think it is procedurally proper. But there has been a response by the Minister of Stuff, so I would say that Etho's point of order and my commentary as to its propriety (above) are moot.

I don't think we need precise definitions. The rules should be flexible. Part of the reasons is that you should recognize that a temporary leave of up to a year, while maybe not so bad outside of Talossan, hugely impacts Talossa. You should resign accordingly. But six weeks may not be a big deal.
But take the current situation - we have four Justices, one (you) requires medical leave, and the other three are unavailable. We have two pending suits, and one which another Justice's comments would require her to recuse herself. Leaving only two justices, both of which are no where to be found. Now, non-Talossan issues come up, but we're left without a working judiciary at the moment. This is not the fault of the justice who needs medical leave, it's the fault of the other justices unavailing themselves to their position. Ultimately, it doesn't matter how specific or vague we make this, we need committed individuals to act as judges/justices.

Congrats Cresti. May your tenure as Attorney General be less tenacious than mine, and may you not be thrown under the bus at every possible chance by those you seek to defend.
On another note, it would be swell if someone could remove (or tell me how to remove) the "attorney general" from above my avatar.

The jurisdiction point explained why the SOS would serve (or the Clerk), and why it's really only about the complaint, not other items. I wasn't addressing the other issues.

What does default judgment and establishing jurisdiction over a party have to do with your question?

To "roll over," at least how I understand the term, means to submit to someone else's ideas out of intimidation or brown-nosing. Coming up with my own ideas and then talking them through would not be that. Nonresponsive.

Wow you rolled over quickly on this. Would you like to present a counterargument? Using my faculties to arrive at a (tentative, mind you) conclusion does not seem like rolling over to me; in fact, it is quite the opposite. Why?
