I would like a review to determine whether the DP can, in cases where instructions have been posted that cannot conceivably conform to Article G by anything other than sheer luck, use his discretion as to how closely they should be followed.
The Judiciary were unanimous in this ruling.
Chief Justice: Peri
Judge Advocate: Ravensfire
Public Defender: Zorven
From the Constitution, Article C.1.a - "The President shall be the
designated player of the game. The President is responsible for
following the legal instructions of all Leaders during play of the
game."
The President (and by extention the DP) must follow all legal
instructions while playing the save. As the DP, they are responsible
for all decisions that they make.

Commentary
[begin]
We understand our ruling isn't quite as blunt as some might like. We
have included this commentary to make sure everyone understands what
the ruling means.
The DP is responsible for following the legal instructions given to
them. If they feel an instruction is not legal, they have three
options.
One, follow the instruction anyway. They cannot be faulted for this,
only the person giving them the instruction.
Two, ignore the instruction. They are potentially exposing themself
to a PI over this.
Three, stop the turn chat and take the question to the forum.
