For the purposes of Section 1, I consider myself an interested party by virtue of being a citizen of Lazarus and therefore having a vested interest in the sanctity of our legal system; the 72 hour requirement has been met as well, this appeal being posted approximately 17 hours after the ruling. While the court is certainly correct in stating that disloyalty, when not further defined, is a broad and non-specific term, and yet can be reasonably applied to most crimes in the Criminal Code, grounds for dismissal of an officer engaging in any such vague notion of disloyalty do not follow from that. In the body of law for Lazarus, no provisions are made for dismissal from office other than through the process of recall as per Article III Section 5 of the Constitution, and no other possible grounds for dismissal can be reasonably implied. Furthermore, by claiming that dismissals must occur because the crimes "are serious enough to warrant removal from public office" without reference to law stating or even implying such, the court has de facto created law unilaterally. This is a violation of the authority granted to it by Article V Section 5 of the Constitution, by which the court may only decide on constitutionality of law and not create it; additionally, the court has violated the rights granted to the Grand Assembly as per Article III Sections 1, 2, and 4 of the Constitution as the sole body for creating law. Any reasonable person would certainly wish for an official displaying gross disloyalty to our region to be suspended or dismissed from office; at least a majority of the honorable justices on this Court have shown to share this view, as do I. Yet, given that no such law exists, this is a matter that must (and should) be addressed by the Grand Assembly, and not by the Court. I thank you for your time.
