This is idiotic to be completely honest...

I started the third term nomination thread,  as did Scipio at the beginning of the second term,  and I was insulted and met with demands that I must apologize to the court lest the thread be closed for being unconstitutional.  The thread was met with the approval of all but one person --- and after I refused to apologize to the court,  I was met with the thread being closed. 

The thread is constitutionally valid,  it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out.  However,  the very fact I was demanded to apologize,  is what is troubling.  It's nothing but overzealous and unneeded behavior from this Judge and I hereby call for his impeachement.

Before any vote can take place,  we must wait for the House of Scorpius to be filled.  In the mean time,  this area should be used as discussion.  I apologize for this negative but rightfully placed call.

Refference:
Nomination Thread: 3rd Term

The judge has also messaged me with the following:

Senator Bismarck, you are hereby accused and convicted by The Supreme Court of violation of The Constitution of this land.

You sir, have a most definite gift for taking things way oot of hand.
You were in clear violation of the Constitution and a decision of The Supreme Court, and were very lightly punished for said infraction.
If you continue in this manner of disruption and whining, The Court will have no recourse but to instill a tougher punishment.

Guys, guys, guys,

I wish I had more time to write a bigger response here, but unfortunately I don't, as I'm at work.

I know you guys have had issues in the past, and they need to be left at the door.

I don't believe Biz was in any way trying to violate the constitution. The thread in question was an unofficial nomination thread, not an attempt at usurping the Supreme Court in holding a vote.

However, you two have a knack of rubbing each other up the wrong way, which cannot be beneficial at all for our DGame.

I'll have a think about this and get back to you later with a better response.

Cheers,

Dave

The point behind this impeachment thread is that it is just a game.  If anybody can look at the thread in question that inspired this impeachment and honestly explain to me how I instigated such a response,  please say-so in this thread.  I'm here to play the game,  not have my threads trolled,  insulted, threatened with bologna punishment,  and locked for no legit reason (especially when unprovoked).  I'm also going to point out it is still closed,  even despite mongoose's explanation that it was consitutional.

As I said,  it was obviously constiutional.  So what logical reason is there behind the actions?  Unless he was elected to troll the game's progress,  I don't see where I'm at fault.

This being a game,  I do expect to enjoy the same quality as everyone else,  not be at the end of some judge's criticism while they're sitting behind their computer on some ego-trip from a game.  What part of that is healthy for the game?  Especially when I've served three-terms and have yet to come into conflict with any other judge or citizen in general.

TORA, you have not sufficiently shown how the nomination thread was unconstitutional.  Pushing it to the point you did was unacceptable IMO and would affect any future voting for you for any position in the future. 

Biz, I understand why you are seeking impeachment but I don't believe it's an impeachable offense.  If he continues doing things like this, perhaps impeachment wouldn't be out of the question but this is a pretty small a thing to be impeached for.  Now, if Mr. G doesn't show up, it may be necessary to replace him in which case, I'd possibly run for judge in order to counter TORA, but we should give G a bit more time.

I tend to think that abuse of power is indeed an impeachable offense.  If the SC gets a foot in the door of locking down topics in the Senate on the grounds that they are unconstitutional, that would tend to severely hamper the Senate. 

As for Mr. G being given more time... he's been gone more than a week.  If we want to declare him absent, now would be a good time.

The question is, is he abusing power?  The answer may be yes and that is for the senate to decide.  Whatever the case may be, you should be careful TORA.  You're walking on thin ice. 

As for Mr. G being given more time... he's been gone more than a week.  If we want to declare him absent, now would be a good time.

Very well.  Whatever the case, Mr. G's absense means that we have only one judge and perhaps that is part of the problem.  Before we impeach that judge, let us work on getting another active judge instead of having to look for two new judges.  As stated earlier, I would fill that spot.  I would not propose any new legislation, any changes to the current constitution, all I would do is interpret the constitution as it is writen and I would be against any other judge who tried to do differently.  Whatever the case, the senate should act in a swift manner if they wish to impeach one or more of the judges.

To repeat myself:
A.) The thread was minorly Unonstitutional in that the Court had not opened the discussion of Princeps, as is its Constitutional right.
B.) The minor infraction would have been overlooked had the convicted not countered the half joking observation of its being Unconstitutional, with responses questioning that The Court had any real power.
And to expand:
C.) Considering The Courts correct use of its Constitutional powers and lawful decision to do so, to be an abuse of said powers, would be like saying a President who played the turns correctly was abusing his. It would once again be obvious that the power hungry senate is unhappy, as it is running into a Court that will not bow to its arrogance. Justice Mr. G, ran into this as well when he attempted to better the Community through and amendment. The Senate clearly just does not want anyone else having any power or will to use it.
D.) Since the thread is still locked clearly 1BC Admin mongoose, as that is the role he is in right now, not President, sees the need for its continuing to be so.
And E.) Yes tis just a game, I'm just doing my job in it, which is to make sure everyone, including myself and the senate, keep within the Constitution. Any problems you have with what I have done, is a problem you have with The Constitution.
