with a majority of members itt voting to support installing myself as pontifex maximus for life with no stipulated method of removing me, i think it’s EXTREMELY magnanimous of me to accept even a 75% threshold for removal of justices from the court.
i’m wary of this because i don’t want the court to be a political arena where justices are jockeying for support of the crowd instead of making unbiased (and sometimes perhaps unpopular) decisions. if we want to elect a senate to make decisions based on politics, that’s a separate thing. the judiciary should ideally be independent of that noise. a small council of respected forum members with mild autism who can make independent judgements in the best interest of the community is what we need.
I want to grow support for this concept to higher levels and i welcome discussion about how to improve the finer points to achieve more support, but considering the proposal as written has garnered a majority approval, we should fine tune what I’ve written instead of rewriting the concept from scratch.
Associate justices can be recalled by vote at which level?
51%
66%
75%
85%
90%
Associate justices serve for life
Associate justices can be put up for a recall vote only with unanimous consent of the other serving justices on the court
Not sure how to answer this. I really like the idea of there being only 3 and that they be as impartial as possible and supported by a large majority of the community. I’d like turnover to be as little as possible in this position and likely only come from one of the three no longer wanting the job.
This might be the nerdiest thing I’ve ever seen in my life.
Daria had an episode where her parents created a family court as a way to punish their children for bed behavior. In the end, the system was so bad that the parents were being punished by the process and stopped it before the episode ended.
That’s how this will end. It’ll be another thing for trolls and drama queens to bitch and moan about until people wake up and drop this idea.
That’s why only beetlejuice is qualified to be chief justice. People would feel so bad bothering him and diverting him away from his other posting duties that they would only use the process when they feel very aggrieved.
with me as pontifex maximus, this forum will be respected again. the other forums are laughing at us right now with our current leadership. it’s a travesty, and only i can fix it.
So this is winning by a small but comfortable margin. Three more days and then poll officially closes, and if the lead holds the judicial branch becomes Official Forum Law. Exciting!
