On the State of the Cort pü Inalt

[Dréu Gavárþic'h]

Regeu John, S:reu Seneschal, Membreux Estimats del Ziu,

As long as government has existed, so have courts, in one form or another, existed. Courts are the way that we check our governments actions, and how we punish crime. Courts are a necessary facet of every modern democratic nation. The people of Talossa have had to wait too long for the repair of the judicial system, and I ask for immediate action. As long as the courts are in disrepair, so too is our democracy.

We attempted to repair the courts by creating the Magistracy, which would serve as a sort of substitute while we tried to urge the Cort into action. However, with the departure of Owen Edwards, the Chief Magistrate, that plan fell through.

We attempted to place Sir Sam on the Uppermost Court to fill the hole left by Justice Metaria, but, when it became apparent that Sir Sam was not interested enough in the position to demonstrate his activity and interest, the Ziu voted him down.

Now we are at a point where our democratic process is truly in danger, and all the government is doing is sitting on its hands. We have at least one pending case on which we have waited months for a ruling, and some serious criminal cases on which charges need to be brought. This judicial inactivity needs to end, and it needs to end now.

So, now, there is question of what plan of action we should take. I think it is as simple as beginning the nomination process, right here, and right now. And so, I ask my fellow legislators to begin nominations for membership on the Uppermost Cort, to join Sir Cresti and Lord Q:

I would like to make a nomination.

The Talossan that I nominate for this prestigious position is an individual with a legislative experience level that none of us can rival, a man that calls them as he sees them without ever truly taking sides, and a gentleman that helped to shape and build the nation that we have here today. I believe that this individual holds all the necessary characteristics, both professionally and in personality, that a Justice should possess and I truly believe that he would serve us well in the position. So without much further ado, I nominate Sir Fritz to serve as Justice of the Uppermost Cort.

[Istefan Lorentzescu]

I Apoligise for posting within Ziu. I hope Sir Fritz willing this nomination get the support required to make this happen

[Xhorxh Asmour]

Hear! Hear!

[Iustì Carlüs Canun]

Very well. Fritz seems an excellent candidate for the job. If no other nominations have been put forward by one week from the date of this post, I will make that recommendation to His Majesty.

[Flip Molinar]

Just let me second the nomination of Sir Fritz. I, having had the pleasure of personally meeting him and enjoying a beer with him, can attest to the fact that he is the kindest, most benevolent, and most congenial person you will ever meet. His dedication to our beloved nation and his encyclopedic knowledge of Her history, laws, and culture are second to none. I can think of no better person in the world to fill this role and I know for an absolute fact that he will be one of the finest Justices to ever sit on that esteemed bench.

[Dréu Gavárþic'h]

I think we should consider both the inactivity of Sir Fritz and the fact that he is, at the moment, acting as a caretaker for the Vuodean senate seat before making a decision.

[Flip Molinar]

As far as inactivity, I think that's not as big of a deal since he shows his face (username) about once or twice a week. As far as his role as acting senator, I think we can wait three months to appoint him so long as we have the spot ready to be filled upon the dissolution of the current Cosa.

[Iustì Carlüs Canun]

Works for me.

[Istefan Lorentzescu]

has any one heard if Sir fritz would accept the appointment ( again apologies for posting here)
