Here I improved it for ya.
On the matter of Lazarus' judiciary:
Though in real life the independence of such an institution is paramount, in NationStates courts tend to be traps for inactivity. There is very little for them to do so excluding justices from the rest of the region's affairs leaves them disengaged. This makes filling the court difficult, either resulting in it being short-staffed and dysfunctional or staffed by cosmopolitan players with little investment in the region.
As such, the proposal in question is not the world-ending event Demonos has made it out to be. It is a necessity if the region is to have a court in practice as much as it does in law.
Demonos, Glorious society, Kingdom of Napels, and Peachie
I think the issue that has been brought up by Demonos goes beyond that point. Whether or not the judiciary is an institution that tends to be inactive and less busy, there are still potentially issues with one person being able to have broad powers in different areas of the region. I personally believe we should get people involved as much as possible and try to include as many people in the process of running the region that we can, but when a position can make rulings and establish law that can potentially benefit them and their agendas directly in other positions, that's a problem. I think that's the reason why this separation was likely established to begin with.
If the argument that is being made in favor of this change is that we don't have enough active people to serve in the multitude of positions we have, then we should try and solve that issue instead of cutting corners. Additionally, I don't think it's wise for us to appoint justices who are disengaged in the region in general. Whether or not their specific position warrants constant activity, if they use it as an excuse to become less involved as a whole then what does that say about the person appointed?
If our biggest problem is that we do not have enough engaged, active, and dedicated Shareholders, then I would hope we can make it our government's primary objective to try to bring more people into LazCorp and our awesome community here! Consolidating powers that might bite us down the line is not an answer to that, in my opinion.
I just logged back on for the first time in like 3 days and saw that whole conversation. I think it's interesting to watch my internet buddies go head to head.
Loftegen 3 and 
Cossack Peoples, you guys make the rmb worth checking.

Most of that credit should go to cossack not lofty
Can't have just one guy in a two person show.
I try, very poorly might I add, to stay away from internet politics because I can never really know the person behind the username. When you know the individuals behind the beliefs then the reason they believe makes sense.
But both of our dear friends have contributed their fair share of rmb wackiness. Crack on you two.
I mean, not really, lofty just had a bunch of incoherent rambles, and cossack wrote an essay, and a fanfic on it.
Yeah, you right. Guess I'm just trying to make sure everyone feels appreciated. :/
Hey everyone,
I haven't been on the rmb rp lately, and have been trying to jump back in at a suitable point. None appeared, so I made one myself. Please see my new factbook "The Aftermath" for details.
Long story short, we in Cianlandia would like to extend a hand of friendship to the formerly hostile nations of the Southern Compact of the old South Sea War, and try to make better relations from sour ones: 
Dernel, Cossack Peoples
Custadia, New vedan. (I think that's everyone.)
New vedan, Demonos, Dernel, and Peachie
This is very important. It can be taken care of as easily as an issue.

Fellow Lazarene. This is an exciting time for regional politics. Unfortunately, we in The Principality noticed you may not be a Citizen and Shareholder of LazCorp. Should this be so, you may be unable to vote at this very crucial time for this specific proposal. Sorry for pestering you like this.
Still though, consider getting citizenship by filling out an application here:
https://www.nslazarus.com/thread-1191.html
All of you have endorsed Demonos. We would like to see you take part in our community of Lazarus. With more people like you, maybe we wouldn't have a hard time filling positions around here. This proposal really is a law of convenience rather than practicality. We would like your help in fighting the root of corruption.
Thank You For A Moment of Your Time,
Sincerely,
Lady Vera
If you have the time, it would be a great place to get involved. We've got a lively community for sure.
That said, the LAZDisco I mentioned yesterday has begun! Feel free to post about or links to music you like, and get on the dance-floor!
I like this song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaLWqy4e7ls It's a Portuguese song with an interesting tie to the Carnation Revolution. If I knew much about dancing, I might be able to dance to it, but I'm going to sit back for this one.
The Two Tubbies of Treadwellia woke to what is becoming a rather common occurrence lately. Mrs. Tubbius, happily snoozing tummy to tummy by His Rotundity, found Herself waking suddenly and wanting some ice cream now. His Immensity, though sleepy, does not complain at this request. Besides, it lets Him click on the television to see if anyone is dancing at the LazDisco yet.
Pistachio ice cream and salsa dancing!
.
Hmm. I'm not sure. His Obesity could try it.
Ah. Poor Tubbius.
I won't ask.

At vote right now is a proposal to end independent jurisprudence. Our Mandate, currently, does not allow sitting Justices to serve in other Lazarene positions of power. If you haven't yet voted, you will have your chance until August 13th, 3:15 PM EST.
This proposal seeks to delete a sentence that forbids Justices from holding other positions. It is a law of convenience rather than praticality. Instead of appointing citizens to positions, there is a movement to consolidate power away from the citizenry who are rightfully entitled to participate in regional justice and activities under a balance of power. Defenders of this proposal are mostly officers of the region who have traded their values for the chance of personal political advancement. The excuse that, "the participation is low", will be thrown about. This is fallacy. It is engagement that is being neglected.
This can be solved very much like an issue/rmb hybrid. All it requires you to do is login and VOTE "NAY". There are officers in Lazarus who have shown the wisdom to avoid the temptation of losing an independent judiciary under their administration. They have voted to retain a valuable ideological treasure that Lazarus deserves and have voted Nay. The real question boils down to this;
Should Lazarus be threatened in the future with ad hoc law?
