| Date | 04:07:43, April 18, 2008 CET | From | Vintalli Representative Party | To | Debating the Judicial System |

| Message | We could support this, but still have concerns of abuses. The VRP has failed Gaduridos and must be taken out of power. Thier continual inaction concerning crises of the world and the nation are borderline treacherous. |
| Date | 03:03:13, April 20, 2008 CET | From | Frente de Libertação de Vintãli | To | Debating the Judicial System |
| Message | Why is the Zambrano Junta voting against a bill that would bring the rule of law to Gaduridos? This bill would actually help prevent any abuses the VRP may be conducting, if they are in violation of the law, since the courts could overturn them if they are in violation of the Constitution or the law. |
| Date | 03:19:28, April 20, 2008 CET | From | Populistas de Pedernera | To | Debating the Judicial System |
| Message | We have continued concerns that this court will not be respectful of the principles that made this nation great. Namely, Communist influence of the court would be too much of a security issue resulting in more unrest and violence. We feel the status quo is better than a Communist rubber stamp court. |
| Date | 03:29:12, April 20, 2008 CET | From | Frente de Libertação de Vintãli | To | Debating the Judicial System |
| Message | The court will not be a Communist rubber stamp. We believe that there should be an equal number of Communist and capitalist justices. We propose this composition of the court: Chief Justice - Zambrano Junta Associate Justice #1 - (GCCP) H.P. Sauce Committee Associate Justice #2 - Free Movement of Gaduridos Associate Justice #3 - Peoples' Socialist Workers Party Associate Justice #4 - Zambrano Junta With that proposal, there would be 2 Communists, 1 moderate, and 2 capitalists. |

| Message | Would that be acceptable to the Zambrano Junta? |
