I was on vacation so I didn't have time to write up a long argument. Basically, what root said-- the judgement was based on R2019 saying "by announcement", but in fact that phrase was only added after the CFJ was called. (The reason that there was enough time to get a proposal adopted between the CFJ's calling and judgement is, of course, my laziness :x) Anyway, on Feb. 2 the relevant portion of Rule 2019 was this: In a timely fashion before the beginning of each month, the Speaker SHALL randomly assign each Minister Without Portfolio a different Prerogative for the upcoming month. If there are more members in one set than the other, then e SHALL randomly choose which members of the larger set take part in the assignment. If you didn't know this, judgements of FALSE, TRUE, UNDECIDABLE, and IRRELEVANT all include "at the time the inquiry case was initiated" in their R591 wording. (No offense, just in case you were unaware.)
