| Message | The rule of law must be upheld, and since Humanity, for the most part is far to primitive to be able to live in a true Anarcho-socialist society the state must exist for the common good. |
| Date | 23:18:15, July 09, 2008 CET | From | Normand Pluralist Party | To | Debating the Dissolution of the Courts |
| Message | We really this bill, but would probably oppose, except by supporting we can voice our opposition to the Socialists' efforts to establish a supreme court in Sekowo. |

| Message | We agree completely with the DSP. Without the court system, the police force would be powerless to enforce the law as there are no punishments. Without punishment, criminal actions would spike dramatically and likely not fall until citizens took it upon themselves to enforce "justice" on their own terms. In effect, destroying the justice system is inviting anarchy into Sekowo, and forcing every one of her citizens into a militia of sorts...defending themselves. We will never support the demolition of fair trials in favor of anarchy! |

| Message | We do agree with the SIP, but shall continue to vote the way we currently are for ideological reasons. |
