cinyc vs. Northern Region (Lincoln)

[windjammer]

Citizen cinyc, the Supreme Court believes that this is the Supreme Court that has to administer this case and not the Northern Justice. Do you wish to involve the Supreme Court or do you want to withdraw this court case?

On an another note, the Senate is considering a constitutional amendment amending this part of the constitution, if this passes (which seems likely), would you still challenge the legality of this Northern law?

Supreme Court of Atlasia

Nyman, DC

Cinyc vs Northern Region

Opinion of the Court.

(Chief Justice Windjammer delivered the opinion of the court)

After consideration of the submitted briefs and the facts of the case, the Court has come to a unanimous decision.

The Supreme Court upholds the ruling of evergreen v. rpryor :

You must be logged in to read this quote.

The requirement in the Lincoln Constitution of being registered for ten days in order to be eligible to vote  cannot be considered as a requirement of activity and  is unconstitutional. The Supreme Court hereby strucks down the Voter Integrity amendment.
The Supreme Court would like to thank Cinyc and R2D2 for their full cooperation and their rapidity of posting their brief.

[windjammer]

So, to be clear, the court believes that regional requirements are fine as long as they are 7 days or less?

It is not considered as an activity requirement so it is unconstitutional.
