Kennedy, Kagan/Sotomayor(forgot which one died), Ginsburg, and Thomas make up 4 that would strike it down.

Roberts would similarly rule against, given his jurisprudence, likely joined by Breyer.

Our Supreme Court Justices are the same?

In jurisprudence, not in names. The same applies to them as recent Presidents.

Are the same rules on past presidents/supreme court justices applied to foreign world leaders?

No. References to foreign leaders were too heavily used in the early days of the roleplay, and are set as-is in real life.

However, keep in mind that those leaders elected in or after 2016 may change-the French Presidential elections, for example, are still on their way.

That may, depending on some current telegram conversation, be revealed in the not-too-distant future.

At the moment, while the hearing is in process, please refrain from taking action in the House. Per player request, that is suspended until the completion of Bellefontaine's confirmation hearing.

As I believe TNS complained, they ought not to be.

Regardless, unless there is strong player support for its extension, regardless of Transoxthraxia's potential absence, the hearing will not be extended past Wednesday.

It was mentioned in the OOC, though given the pace at which it advances, it is not a great problem that it was missed.

You can simply delete the posting, and re-post once the House is returned to activity.
