I have to agree. I would prefer to see the real place of the Chief Justice in the context of judicial reform and having that reform passed before giving him or her legal access to the Cabinet Office.

Or just passing both in an omnibus amendment.

We can do an omnibus amendment, but I really don't see why you need to see the judicial reform before doing this, Kris. :| Judicial reform is going to take weeks, and we really wanted this done a week ago.

How about we just strip out the contested language, and a vote on adding the deputies to the junior cabinet? We can amend this again later when we do judicial reform, if we decide that the head of the judiciary should have some kind of Cabinet relation.

I could agree to that. Perhaps the judicial amendment could then mention that the CJ would have access to Cabinet discussions, if we reach that kind of agreement. On adding deputies as junior Cabinet members I have not objections. That is one of the pillars of our inclusion efforts.

Second. Let's bring this thing to vote.Â

This means that TSP will have to be extra careful about who is and isn't a deputy, but I think it can work.

I don't like personally how the head of the judicial system would be considered a "junior member".
I'm against.

The Chief Justice is not a member of the Cabinet, junior or otherwise, under the text being voted on, that was under a previous draft. Anyway, the CJ was going to be a junior member not because of any decrease in its importance, but rather because the head of the judiciary was supposed to be there not as part of the executive branch, which is the Cabinet, but in an oversight and advisory capacity. Thus, the Chief Justice could only be there as a non voting or junior Cabinet member, that is before the whole idea was changed to exclude the CJ from the bill.
