Title: Discussion: Criminal Code
Post by: Gulliver on August 08, 2010, 06:44:36 AM

Since Elu has brought up the Due Process Act in the Senate, I may as well bring this (http://wiki.taijitu.org/wiki/Proposal/Criminal_Code). Thoughts, suggestions, and so forth.

Does "Government" in Article 2, Clause a mean the Executive Branch, or the whole state apparatus of Taijitu?  Judging from a reference to the Court in the same clause, it seems to mean the Executive Branch.  In which case, there should really be a role for the Senate in determining whether a document should be classified or not.

Good point. I've edited the clause in question.

It was my plan to soon propose a separate Act on classifying secrets.

This text is acceptable, however :)
