Quote from: Mic'haglh Autófil, O.Be on Yesterday at 11:54:43 PMWell, as I can see it, there are a few paths forward:

* Remove 8.4.2 to address the Baron's concerns, and move forward with the rest of the bill.
* Keep 8.4.2, but clarify that this part only enters into effect if the bill passes the Cosa by a 2/3 majority.
* Keep 8.4.2 and hope it passes by 2/3 anyway. (not recommended, but technically an option)
* Abandon the bill.

To be clear, the point of 8.4.2 is much the same as the limit on non-list candidates being given Cosa seats -- the people have a right to know (at least as accurately as possible) who they are electing ahead of time, and the "surrender half your seats" part is effectively your penalty for disturbing that. Options 2 and 3 hinge on some of the precedent set by Cjantscheir v. the Ziu, in that 60RZ19 was deemed to clear the requisite threshold to remove a CpI Judge.

I would invite not just CRL members but other MZs to provide their input.

I think a good case has been made on the potential inOrganicity(?) of 8.4.2. There is the option of an advisory opinion if you'd like to test it before moving forward as the Judiciary seems like a good place to remove any uncertainty on the question. I'd support removing that section as the bill would still be effective, as far as its intended purpose insofar as I understand it, without it.
