| Message | Problem one: A court can not have an even number of seats as decisions can tie. Problem two: Judges should not be applied based off political allegiance, the judicial is separate from the legislative otherwise they can not act as a neutral party on the acts of the legislative. Problem three: I think we have one? |

| Message | Apparently the MVR with it's 26 seats in the Knesset isn't on that list. Far be it from us to suggest that the overzealous Christian Zionist Party has a vendetta against us, but this oversight is too glaring to not seem deliberate. Also, see all of CLCP's points above. |

| Message | Adding a 9th seat with representation from MVR would be helpful in gaining support, but political affiliation is a bad way to determine a justice system... |

| Message | If we are to do it in the way other nations in the game do, then (I think) each party with seats would nominate a candidate for one seat, with the party with the HoS, justice minister, and the largest party (or second largest party if the largest party controls HoS or justice, and so forth) each nominating one extra candidate. So, for example, in the presnt situation, Aymam, CLPCP and ML would each have two candidates and all other parties would have one. Thats an if, because im not really sure what use it would serve other than as a forgotton rp measure, which could be ignored by any new, less active party. |

| Message | OOC: Yeah I'm not sure if we really need this to be honest it would be more work than I think we can be bothered with. If we are to bring back a new RP measure I suggest the Mehoz governance thing for which the original bills still exist if anyone is interested? |

| Message | Yeah I'd be for that. |
| Date | 20:26:40, December 14, 2007 CET | From | Pharaoh's People's Party | To | Debating the Supreme Court |
| Message | The PPP opposes this measure, mainly following the objections of the now defunct CLPCP. The appointment of judges should not have any basis in partisan politics |
