Atlasia v. Ogis/Tyrion

[Oakvale]

I don't believe we have any discretion in whether or not to hear a trial. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong. If the Justice department wishes to proceed with this despite the concerns raised we will assign a justice to preside.

[Oakvale]

Unless the Justice department decides otherwise and the President changes his mind, we'll have to go ahead and hear this case. We'll assign a presiding justice.

Did the justice not see my question?

This is historically because, in days past, the regional CJO was obliged to represent a defendant from their region, meaning they obviously couldn't preside over a trial. In any event, it's a federal law.

Alright, I guess we're going to proceed here.
