The office of the Attorney General hereby charges North Carolina Yankee with Rebellion, with Aiding of a Rebellion, with Terrorism, with Secession, and also with the Refutation of Federal Supremacy in Law under the terms of the .

The charges are defined by the Law as follows:

I formally request that the Supreme Court promptly assigns to this trial a Justice, that it summons a legally constituted Jury and that I may be permitted to present evidence so that the Justice may appropriately determine its admissibility.

Your honour, in order that the trial of this notorious criminal may so proceed, I present the following as evidence of a potential breach of the law:



Atlasian law defines Secession as:

Given the context of the debate the above comments by North Carolina Yankee constitute, in the view of the Department of Justice, a potential breach of the law serious enough to warrant trial.

Then entire context of that quote is warning against creating an environment where there is no recourse to prevent Sawx from making himself King, or TNF from making himself Premier.

Also it is a Senate debate thread about a future state of being that doesn't exist, namely a dissolved Atlasia. It in no way endorses such treason in the present or the future and stands in opposition to the framework that will render such unstoppable in the future.

I move this case, this perversion of justice, be dismissed immediately.

So, if I say "someone could point a gun at someone and fire," I'm guilty of murder?

The mere mention of a crime isn't committing that crime itself. There's nothing it what Yankee said that would indicate that his statement is a threat. I'd go as far as to say it's a warning that it might cause rebellion--as in, an anti-rebellion statement. No matter what, there is no way whatsoever to call Yankee's statement illegal. The only potential breach of the law here is the Attorney General's waste of forum space while there's a communist revolution in the Midwest.

At least, that's my mostly unqualified and completely unsolicited opinion on this "court case."

And note that the grand defenders of 'Atlasia' act in such a way as to destroy its very procedures and ways of operating.
