Fourth Party Congress Resolutions
« on: August 08, 2011, 06:42:14 PM »
As promised, me and Wast used last night to wrap up on the IRC congress and move it here for final discussion and hopefully a vote. The text of the resolutions are here on the wiki.

I think the first two are fine as they are and should be moved to a vote immediately, which I will do if there's a second. For the last one, my concern is that 21 weeks is about five months, which seems like a really long time. However, judicial terms should definitely be longer than Senate terms and it ideally should be impossible to change the majority of the Court's members in a single term. If Judicial terms were every 14 weeks and there was only two classes of justices, that would mean if there's an odd number of justices every other cycle it would be possible to replace a number of them representing a majority. Of course, since I'm the only Justice right now, that means every cycle will end up replacing the Court entirely, but part of the hope of introducing terms of course would be to make it less of an obligation for people sign on as  Justice for a bit.
