Amend Rule 2158 by replacing:
Within a judicial case, one or more judicial questions may
arise. Each judicial question is either inapplicable (default)
or applicable; this is not a persistent status but is evaluated
instantaneously. Each judicial question either is open
(default), suspended, or has a particular judgement; this is a
persistent status that changes only according to the rules. The
possible types of judgement for a judicial question vary
according to the type of question.
When a judicial case has an applicable open judicial question,
it requires a judge, and its judge CAN assign a valid judgement
to that question by announcement. Whenever there is a judge
assigned to a judicial case with an applicable open question,
the judge SHALL assign such a judgement to the question as soon
as possible.
Whenever a judicial case has a judicial question that has
remained applicable and open, while the same judge has been
assigned to the case, continuously for the past week, the CotC
CAN recuse that judge with cause by announcement. Whenever a
judicial case has a judicial question that has remained
applicable and open, while the same judge has been assigned to
the case, continuously for the past two weeks, the CotC SHALL so
recuse the judge as soon as possible.
with:
Within a judicial case, one or more judicial questions may
arise. Each judicial question is either inapplicable (default)
or applicable, as defined by the rules. Status is a judicial
question switch, tracked by the CotC, with values of open
(default), suspended, or judged. The possible types of
judgement for a judicial question vary according to the type of
question.
When a judicial case has an applicable open judicial question,
it requires a judge, who SHALL as soon as possible assign a
valid judgement to that question by announcement, thereby
changing the question's status to judged.
Whenever a judicial case has a judicial question that has
remained applicable and open, while the same judge has been
assigned to the case, continuously for the past week, the CotC
SHALL within two weeks recuse that judge with cause by
announcement.
[[Switchifies status, thereby removing the annoying evaluated clauses.
Takes advantage of the fact that specifying a method implies CAN to add
brevity.]]
