Hello My Fellow Justices,
 Since we already have 9 justices. Please sign in.
We are also nominating fellow justices for Chief and were voting in this thread, please nominate yourself or a fellow justice if you want when you sign in.

By the Random Sequence Generator, the case that will be chosen first is Roe v. Wade.
Please read up on the case so you know the facts
If any civilian would like to be the defendant or the prosecutor please say so and sign in as one.

Thank You,
Justice Antonin Scalia

Ok, you can play as Roe whenever we decide on the Chief and the last 2 sign in you can give your argument.

Since the time is up under the rules designed by the game moderators we have three candidates for the office of Chief Justice.
Those candidates are the following:
Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, Moderate Justice played by DKrol
Justice Antonin Scalia, Conservative Justice played by Classic Conservative
Justice Hugo Black, Moderate Justice played by benecostine
JUSTICE WHO HAVE NOT SIGNED IN MUST, SO WE CAN GET STARTED WITH THE GAME ASAP

OK. I have my opening argument drafted. Once the other 2 Justices check in and yall elect a Chief, I'll volunteer to go first. That way there is more time to attract a lawyer to represent the government. I figured worst case maybe 1 of the Justices could recuse and argue against abortion. I feel like Justice Moore or Thomas would enjoy that.

Aside from electing the Chief Justice, we also need to establish an order of seniority for the other 8. If the CJ declines to write the opinion (or if the CJ doesn't support the opinion) the next in line to write it is the most senior of the other Justices, and so on.

The order is the order that people signed up in so Scalia, O'Connor, Posner, Moore, Stevens, Douglas, Blackmun, Black and Thomas.

As an observer, I'm going to give this a bump.  I don't wish to prognosticate on the activity of anyone involved in this game, but if necessary, I'd be more than happy to sign up as a justice.
