Both Sides of the Story
•
by Mirahge
After PM'ing both Bruck and Jacobi on their positions on the story of Dean22, i was given permisson by both parties to print their unedited quotes. Do with them what you will.
Jacobi:
My position, and the position of the Government, is that there is a) only one constitution at one time, b) that Congress overstepped its constitutional boundaries by voting to remove citizenship, c) even if the vote was a valid one, the Constitution stipulates that a player acquires citizenship by being in the country 14 days and the Congressional vote cannot supersede the Constitution.
And you may say, that my own personal feelings on the matter, is that this is just another example of the ridiculous feuding that goes on between older players all the time. Fights that have nothing to do with Canada today. I have zero desire to fight battles that began BEFORE the President of Canada was even playing the game! Some people are attention whores -- I get that. But simply put, there comes a time when people need to grow up.
Bruck:
I feel that the reinstatement of Dean22's citizenship is a poor decision of the Jacobi administration. Not only is Dean22 a proven felon having actively committed nefarious crimes against all of Canada and its citizens but he is a known peddler of incendiary remarks. His attacks on citizens are widely known and most often take place in articles where everyone may see. Jacobi's decision and reasoning to reinstate Dean22 is his own and may never be known. As I said I feel it was a poor decision not only for his administration but for the entirety of Canada. It however is his decision. It is up to congress, the courts and most of all the people of Canada to decide what is best, for the future and prosperity of Canada.

Jacobi... unfortunately when you make the decision to become President of a country you inherit ALL of that countries history. That includes battles from before you were born.
The elected officials of a nation cannot dissassociate themselves from certain issues simply because they don't like them. This especially true when those issues are still relevant in the present time.
eCanada is based on abiding by Congress and Constitutional rules. Without those, we would be lost and slinging even more mud at each other than what's been happening already. Although Dean22 may be controversial at times, Jacobi is doing is job by upholding eCanadian law.
And maybe Bruck is scared of some opposition.
please try and remember that Bruck did not even run in this presidential election, and that decision was made before Jacobi entered the race, so how would "him being scared" make sense.
Bah.... I wrote a nice long winded response only to have the system swallow it.... grrrrr anyways
If the congress cannot revoke citizenship, who has that authority, someone should.
Courts and the courts alone my friend. Congress makes laws, but hey can't play judge cuz they're biased, courts are selected cuz they aren't 😛
It appears I'm not the only unbiased journalist out there. Good work !
Voted and subscribed. Nice to see some straight forward, simple and informative journalism.
@Cougar55- when Jacobi reinstated Dean22's citizenship he blatantly ignored a previous Congressional Law. I am not trying to argue that Congressional Law is more important then the constitution, although I happen to believe that, but the Congress at the time passed this Law with a 75% majority with full knowledge of the constitution.
If it were not for the fact that congress recently voted 72% in favor to reverse Jacobi's decision this wouldn't be an issue. His unwillingness to cooperate with congress on an issue it feels quite strongly opposed to the his interpretation is the real issue here. Dean22 is insignifigant in the scope of things.
