SPC vs. Atlasia

[Barnes]

Just a friendly reminder for Atlasia.

I thank the Justice. I apologize for my lack of action in this case. I've been really busy these past few days, but I will have the brief tomorrow.

[Barnes]

Argument for the Defense:

The Constitution of Atlasia states:

You must be logged in to read this quote.

Smoking is a danger to the public health. The damage inflicted to a non-smoker who is in the vicinity of a smoker is greater than the actual damage afflicted to the smoker, and it stands to reason that this would be a danger to the Public Health.

Furthermore, this bill only outlaws smoking in public areas and not areas that are privately owned. These areas include parks, libraries, schools, etc. The Government has responsibility over these locations, and it has a responsibility to preserve the public health.

[Barnes]

Neither party has even pretended to answer these questions, which are the only ones I care about.

As some preliminary questions from the CJ, even though this isn't in the cert, I'm going to ask:

1) How does the 22nd amendment impact this case?
2) What does the statute mean when it says that the places covered by "buildings and establishments open to the public?"  Does this mean every federal/regional/private place that is commonly open to the public?  Does it mean something even broader than that?  Or something more narrow?  What I'm getting at is what is the "line" in application.

I apologize, you Honor.

1. The 22nd Amendment clearly states:

You must be logged in to read this quote.

So, for example, what if a public official worked in a park? Smoking in a park would be detrimental to their health, and could lead to them having to either quit their job, or die.
2. I believe that this applies to all buildings, parks, libraries, schools, etc. operated by the Federal government and/or a Regional government.

[Barnes]

I thank the Court for their decision.
