Jon Little Bird may be an impatient claimant, but there was a lot of administrative work behind-the-scenes to legally produce his little show. Such as his ignorance in approaching the Supreme Court with the matter of a illegality of Custody action. The CCD was the grandchild of Russia, after all, and the trifurcate court system persisted today which was utilized by the former Federation.
The Supreme Court made the mistake of hearing Jon's action at the beginning, but such trivial mistakes were quickly collected by the Academic Consultative Council and redirected to the proper forum. That is, in this case, transferring the case to the Custody Court which is responsible for cases concerning the conformity of the Custody itself, disputes between federal bodies, and practices matters of "Custody review" - the legal Custody being the written document pertaining to CCD Law, division of power, and infrastructure and which is often referenced incorrectly as a CCD Constitution as opposed to the custody which the Ascendancy has been entitled to protect.
The legality of laws such as that being presented by Jon required a full plenary session of all seventeen judges, which in and of itself requires a massive effort to coordinate, thus delaying the lawsuit additional days. That the matter was reconvened within a week was a testament to the massive efficiency in which the CCD operates. Equivalent cases could take years to filter through the sieve of American, Canadian, or Mexican courts.
In that regard, the Council of Judges, the seventeen judges which heard cases in the Custody Court, rarely dissented from one another. Yet another testament to their efficiency: together, they were a testudo formation of CCD law, a strong, iron shield as fearsomely protective of the Custody as their roman counterparts were of an individual legionnaire; and they were just as effective.
Another highly effective individual was the Custody was Anatoly Kant, the Prosecutor General for the Central Dominance and highest member of the Legal Advocacy Office for the entire Custody. Kant was a power-child for the CCD's formulation of a written Custody rather than a constitution: which stated the main problem of constitutionalism as an instrument for the practical implementation of the Rule of Law sourced a disconnect with the implementation with a Higher Law, stated as follows: “The constitution of a state is eventually based on the morals of its citizens, which, in its turn, is based on the goodness of this constitution.” This statement was the key passage which directed the office of the Ascendancy to dissolve the ASU's constitution and replace it with the written Custody upon formation of the CCD. Undoubtedly, it was a rapid change in the space of five years, but a logical progression from the Russian Federation's Presidential constitution to the ASU's ascendant constitution to the CCD's final Custody.
Kant represented the CCD in matters relating to Rule of State, Custody of Law, and legality of citizen rights as defined by the written Custody drafted by the Ascendancy's office in 2025 and amended as needed in the twenty years since.
Kant was a man of hard-planes, firm resolution, and infallible will. His silvery hair spoke to his age, while he demeanor spoke to little chance at intimidating him. Appointed by the office of the Ascendancy, he was in the midst of his five-year term in office, therefore was well-groomed to the role in which he played in this lawsuit. He tolerated little and for a man in his mid-fifties, much of his intolerance was directed at the immaturity of youth although he upheld Custody tenants most passionately. He was a hammer in the Custody. A figure which was impossible to undermine. The skeletons in his closets were rotting in full view and nobody cared about them because the man chiseled his way through anti-Custody cases. He cared not a whim for a young upstart who passed the American Bar after a year of education--the Custody equivalent ranked curriculum vitae over a frame on the wall anyway - a direct example of contrasting cultures. And Anatoly Kant's CV was impressive to the point of capturing the Ascendancy's attention when the position last became opened, not to mention being well-rewarded for it.
His briefs were filed before the Council of Judges, individual copies sent to all seventeen offices. The case appeared on the docket, and Mister Kant and his team filed into the grand courtroom with little fanfare. The media had appropriately been discouraged from coverage today with the official anticipation that there was little to report anyway. Besides, a hot young Bollywood star couple famous for their on-again, off-again relationships were at this very minute announcing their engagement to a thick crowd of paparazzi and every main-steam news media outlet - from daily talk shows to live streaming events - not half a mile away from the Kremlin at a Five-star Hyatt pool deck.
The court would give each side twenty-minutes to present their case, although Anatoly was familiar with the events about to unfold here. It was common for lawyers to hardly get a word in edgewise, because once the time began, they were frequently interrupted by judges' questions. In the United States' Supreme Court, it wasn't uncommon to field a hundred or more questions from Justices over the course of a thirty-minute speech, interruptions which rendered talking time quite short.
With a few minutes before call, Kant received confirmation from one of his aides that Chief Inspector Drayson was here and ready to be called as witness.
