((HAHAHAHA WHAT THE HELL A member of the Society of Rhoswenii Histories and Traditions puts up a disclaimer underneath the poster, "This organization has no affiliation with the Order of the White Rose and is not a suitable successor to the illustrious and ancient Knight's Order of the First Empire. True Rhoswenii and Kaedreni folk do not condone the appropriation of culture from one that has no lineage or claim to the Order. Please do not encourage this behavior under the banner of the Order of the White Rose. Thank you and have a good day."

REQUEST FOR JUDICIAL REVIEW CHESTER BURWELL PULLER As Represented by GEOFF TURGON DESIRES TO SEE THE LEGAL CONTEXT OF THE FOLLOWING REVIEWED: The Dangerous Drugs Ordinance, 1813 “BE IT ENACTED, that all hallucination or personality affecting drugs for recreational use are to be considered illegal substances for the purpose of O.R.C. CH 204.04 and, therefore, they are prohibited in the Holy Orenian Empire. “ “BE IT ENACTED, that violators of this Ordinance shall be charged with Contraband (O.R.C. 204.04).” ON THE BASIS OF THE FOLLOWING PRINCIPLE(S), DOCTRINE(S), EDICT(S) OR ARTICLES OF LAW: 601.04 - On the Rights and Obligations of the Solicitor-General 601.04A - The duty to develop and maintain the system of Imperial Courts, and to safeguard and uphold the proper and fair application of the law across the country and in its judicial system. 601.04B - The duty to draft laws, both civil and criminal, for consideration by the Crown. 601.02 - On the Rights and Obligations of the Archchancellor 601.02H - The power to unilaterally issue edicts and decrees provided they remain consistent with the jurisdiction of the office as enumerated by the relevant instruments of government. Section I of The Foreign Trade and Cacti Prohibition Act, 1751 On the Prohibition of Foreign Tobacco and Cacti The import, sale, possession, and consumption of foreign grown and/or produced tobacco and cacti are hereby prohibited. Those found in noncompliance shall be charged with a Class I Class E (Basrid Amendment 1751) offence (see Title I). The arguments presented by this party is summarized below: 1. The Solicitor-General does not have the authority to interpret the law. He has the authority to uphold the law. 2. The Solicitor-General does not have the authority to enact legislation, only draft for consideration by crown. 3. The Solicitor-General in this edict has circumvented both the legislative houses and the courts. 4. The Archchancellor's signature does not legitimize this, his seal upholds Edicts by the various Ministries if they are acting within their means. The MoJ is not, therefore the Archchancellor's seal does not uphold their Edict. 5. The Archchancellor only assumes the duties of the crown if no proxy for the Emperor is available. Prince Regent John was available. 6. The Foreign Trade and Cacti Prohibition Act only prohibits foreign grown tobacco and cacti. This is the only defined contraband and it was defined by the Imperial Diet, not the Ministry of Justice. It is the opinion of this party that the Ministry of Justice, in enacting the Dangerous Drugs Ordinance, have unlawfully gone beyond the authorities and responsibilities issued to the Solicitor-General. The Solicitor-General’s duty is to safeguard and uphold the proper and fair application of the law, not create his own. It is his duty to also draft laws for consideration by the Crown, not to create his own. The lack of a proper definition on Contraband (204.04 O.R.C.) does not give the Solicitor-General the authority to define it himself. His chief duties are to uphold the law, not define it. The definition and passage of laws is left to the legislature, i.e. the Imperial Diet. The Dangerous Drugs Ordinance directly contradicts the Prohibition of Foreign Tobacco and Cacti Act of 1751, wherein it outlines what substances are considered contraband. The law specifically cites that the only tobacco or cacti products that shall be outlawed are those that are imported beyond our borders. The Ministry of Justice has been using the Dangerous Drugs Ordinance to confiscate drugs and arrest their possessors indiscriminately, in direct conflict of the law passed by the Imperial Diet and assented by the Crown. Furthermore, the Archchancellor’s signature to the Ordinance may be thought of as a way to provide validity to the Ordinance, but it in fact is also another unlawful overstepping of authority issued to the Archchancellor. The jurisdiction of the office, in this case the Ministry of Justice, is not afforded the ability to create laws in the absence of clearly defined laws. That jurisdiction is afforded to the aforementioned legislature. The Archchancellor’s signature therefore bears no significance or validity to the Ordinance, because it was not done through the relevant instrument of government (the Imperial Diet). Lastly, while the incapacitation of Emperor Joseph II does give the authority of the Crown to the Archchancellor (601.02B), His Imperial Majesty appointed Prince John Charles as his regent, granting John Charles the authority to act as the Crown in the Emperor’s absence, therefore providing no further authority to the Archchancellor. To deny the legislature their duty is to ignore the system of government we champion and take pride in, and to allow the Solicitor-General or anyone else to dictate the law and interpret it at their own will is a further threat to the representative and egalitarian systems this Empire has binded itself to by law.

SURNAME: Helvets FIRST NAME: Othodoric ADDRESS OF RESIDENCE: Varoche Palace DATE OF BIRTH: 1672 Are you registered and eligible to vote in the province of Kaedrin?: Yes. Do you have any other title, peerage or public service that may conflict with becoming an Imperial Senator, as per the Edict of Establishment (1736) or Edict of Election (1736)?: No. If yes, do you understand that you will be required to resign or abdicate from this position should you be elected to the Imperial Senate, and if this does not occur your seat shall be considered to be vacant?: Yes. ((MC NAME)): Byzabro

Othodoric takes a firm grip of his cane and stands slowly, balancing his weight on the bat-pommeled cane. He nods to the President and turns to the Secretary-Designate, clearing his throat quietly before speaking: ”Mr. de Leumont, I had a question regarding the maintenance of our troops in times of both war and peace. What is your opinion of standing armies even in times of peace, and how will that affect your military budget?” @Wurfv

Othodoric digs in the Holy Primates to find his misplaced Ph.D to present to the association.

Father Othodoric comes across a copy of the thesis and smiles, nodding a few times. He writes down a few notes from the thesis as a means of supporting the subject and teaching others.

Msgr. Othodoric hears of the message and is overcome with shock and confusion. He takes to the Holy Primates to understand this phenomenon.

Benda Chivay denies these allegations. Agathor is and will always be under Chivay’s Control.
