Not quite. We're waiting on either Berg, or Darenjo - to be ratified, it must be cleared by two justices. Frankly, I would have liked to see the constitution require intervention by the court when a law is challenged, as opposed to when one is passed. Perhaps that could be this legislatures first amendment!

I assume it's because the former is faster and the latter requires too much procedure. Anyways, this amendment has reached the threshold required. As Connopolis said, I'm waiting for either Berg or Darenjo to get online. We have to certify that the amendment is not unconstitutional itself. (Yeah, I know that's odd.) Then Unibot has to sign off on it.

There's absolutely nothing in it about changing or replacing the Constitution, calling into doubt the entire legality of this whole thing. 2. I'm a firm believer in Hamiltonian readings of the law.

That's kind of assumed in the amendment process.

Anyways, should we wait until after the delegate election to start the legislature?
