I’m coming with a question related to Zukchiva’s request for Judicial Review in terms of Concordat and its legality.
So say, the Conclave rules that this was a repeal & replace, which would cause the post-February 2020 (if I’m not wrong) governments to be illegitimate.
In such case:
The current 2022 Conclave would not be legitimate and would remove any actual power from itself;
We’d presumably be back to Conclave from early 2020.
And therefore, my question stands:
Would the now-back-again Conclave 2020 be able to override the 2022 Conclave’s judicial review (mainly cos their ruling would make themself illegitimate and therefore not in place to make such judicial review law-binding) on the matter and call the Concordat 2.0 legitimate and therefore legalize the 2022 Government?
I’ve been going over this, and if we assume the Concordats post-amendment-in-question to be illegitimate, then the government must be that under the legitimate Concordat, albeit one violating its laws. This results in a gradual development of illegitimate government. For instance, I currently have found no illegalities (assuming the supposedly illegitimate Concordat is actually illegitimate) in Delegate elections up until October 2021, which was our first Delegate election after the citizenship amendment which overhauled how citizenship, and thus voting eligibility, works. That would make Atlae the last legitimate Delegate and Albrook the first illegitimate one.
By the same metric, I currently find no illegalities in Conclave membership except for those Arbiters appointed by an illegitimate Delegate or confirmed by an illegitimate Magisterium. Since all Arbiters save Loreintor were installed prior to Albrook’s election, Lorientor would be the only illegitimate Arbiter.
If we accept the perspective that the new Concordat is illegitimate, then the Conclave is incapable of recognizing the new Concordat as legitimate. Either the “old” Conclave recognizes the old Concordat or the “new” Conclave recognizes the new Concordat.
