"Real world politics."
One cannot apply the laws of the real world to a science fiction game set s of years and millions of light years from Earth in a world rife with aliens, DNA altering drugs, and unchecked medical experiments.
You honestly cant compare laws - or anything. It's like comparing a modern aircraft carrier to a space aircraft carrier. It just doesnt work.

Had the vote gone the other way, I would have a whole new RP for Tim Finnegan
Not really. I think it to be among such bad systems such as Guard and Buffer ones, Alberta, Kansas, Humboldt, New Hampshire connection thing and few others.
