One problem that our old friend Thickskin Shinybutt (read that out loud, fast) is facing that nobody seems to be talking about is the dilemma he is in whether he should appeal the recent supreme court judgement seizing his assets or not. It is not just a case of whether lodging an appeal would be accepting the court's jurisdiction, but one of the Redshirt's core values (apart from money) regarding the constitutions.
If I recall correctly, the 2540 constitution introduced this special court to try politicians, a one-shot court with investigative (Italian-style) powers to speed up trials of politicians. However, the 2550 constitution felt that a one-shot court was not very nice and allowed for appeal. It made appeal possible, albeit to the same court (which some reds argue is a distinction without a distinction) so that if new evidence could be put forward, the same court (with a different mix of judges) could hear out the appeal.
The issue then is that if Takki is to stick to his demand for a 2540, he must not appeal. But of course he wants to appeal to drag things out as long as he can and hope that the next government will do something to get him back into power.
Ah, the dilemma.
