While this is a great show of political theatrics, it doesn't change anything from the last time we
ldiscussed a justice system. Wintreath isn't a democracy, and even if everyone else absolutely loved this, I would still be fundamentally opposed to it. In fact, I've always known that such a situation could come up where the vision that drives this region conflicts with what may be popular, if nothing else because of the mindset that everything should be a democracy. That is why there are provisions of the Fundamental Laws that give me the power to defend the values and principles of this region even if they come under popular attack.
As you yourself said in another topic, doing the right thing may not always be the popular thing.
I am still fundamentally opposed to an standing judiciary, which in itself becomes an arbitrary institution of power with people allowed to make decisions with impunity, especially when it has the power to interpret the Fundamental Laws. Not only that, but throughout NS the judiciary is usually the least active branch of government, and I don't see the need to have a standing inactive branch of government.
I am certainly opposed to elected judges. It's not even just that this region isn't a democracy, but the thought that justice should be based on law as determined by experienced people and not be subject to regular popularity contests where even the newest of Citizens that have not even read our laws could potentially become a judge. As a region that stands against politics, I don't believe it's wise to insert them into our judicial process.
Additionally, as I have stated before in other cases, any provision that attempts to delegate Executive authorities, to create ministries, or otherwise attempts to interfere with the chain of the command within the Executive is not only just undue interference in the Executive, but violates Article II Section 2 of the Fundamental Laws. You can't create Executive authorities and then require that they be held in a particular office. I know that an amendment would supersede that, but obviously I'm still going to oppose it.
