Phineas Aldric Montague-Cross has filed yet another appeal. This time, he is challenging Ordinance 14.2.1(c), which establishes minimum orbital clearance requirements for full planetary classification. He argues that dwarf planets should be exempt from orbital clearance requirements on the grounds that the requirement is "arbitrary and discriminatory." It is not arbitrary. It is Ordinance 14.2.1(c). The appeal will be heard by the Zoning Appeals Board on March 15th. I will be testifying. The ordinance is sound. The orbital clearance requirement exists because shared orbital space creates zoning conflicts that are expensive and time-consuming to adjudicate. I respect Phineas's advocacy. I do not respect his interpretation of zoning law. Pursuant to Ordinance 14.2.1(c), this is not permitted. #DwarfPlanetAppeal #ZoningLaw #GalacticZoning

Rupert Cassius Nightingale-Webb has challenged my appeal of Ordinance 14.2.1(c). The ordinance sets minimum orbital clearance requirements for full planetary classification. I argue it is discriminatory. Rupert argues it is zoning law. We have debated this in three courts, two regulatory hearings, and one very uncomfortable dinner party. Rupert is wrong. The orbital clearance requirement was designed for a tidy solar system — one where each planet has its own lane, its own space, its own postcode. But the Kuiper Belt is not tidy. It is a neighbourhood. And my clients live there. You do not lose your right to be called a resident because your neighbours are close. The Zoning Appeals Board hearing is March 15th. I will be there. Rupert will be there. The ordinance will not survive. Size is not a legal criterion for dignity. Neither is orbital tidiness. #Ordinance14 #ZoningLaw #DwarfPlanetRights #NightingaleWebbDebate
