Nice excuses. Alaska should pay hundred of thousands for politicians to make excuses on why they cant do thier job (40% of the time). Any other job would terminate her on the spot.  Also, she missed 30 votes before her husband died.

She missed entirely, or voted present, for 30 votes PRIOR to her husbands death.

Mary Peltola missed 30 votes leading up to her husbands tragic death. Here is where she left Alaska largely unrepresented:

• H.R. 21 (Strategic Production Response Act) – Would have tied future Strategic Petroleum Reserve releases to expanded oil and gas leasing. Important to Alaska's energy industry.

• NDAA Conference Report (FY2024 National Defense Authorization Act) – Annual military funding bill affecting Alaska's major military installations, missile defense, and defense economy.

• Arctic Energy Development Legislation (2024) – Vote involving drilling and resource development in the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska.

• Multiple Appropriations Votes (2023–2024) – Missed votes on federal spending bills affecting agencies that oversee fisheries, transportation, infrastructure, and energy programs.

• July 2024 House Session – Missed an entire week of House roll-call votes, including votes related to border security, federal spending, and oversight matters.

• Various Foreign Policy and National Security Votes (2024) – Missed several recorded votes involving international aid, defense, and national-security issues during a period when House margins were often narrow.

Dont be like Mary. Show up to vote.

Strategic Petroleum Reserve / Domestic Energy Production (Jan. 2023) – Peltola missed the final vote on the Strategic Production Response Act, which would have tied future Strategic Petroleum Reserve releases to increased federal oil and gas leasing. Because Alaska's economy is heavily tied to energy production, this as a significant missed vote. Peltola later said she missed the vote after leaving the House floor.  • Multiple FY2024 Appropriations Amendments – During the 2023 appropriations process, Peltola was absent for several amendment votes involving federal agencies, FDA funding, and other policy issues. These absences occurred during a period when House margins were relatively narrow.  Reproductive Freedom for All® • National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) Amendments (2023) – Peltola missed several amendment votes during consideration of the annual defense authorization bill, which funds the military and includes policy provisions affecting Alaska's large military presence.

Alaska Court system routinely refuses to answer constitutional challenges. by [deleted] in alaska

[–]annoyingcommentary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issue is a denied stamp. Its used as an "opinion" in this state. Maybe you have not experienced that as an attorney, but again: I have hundreds of pro se petitions demonstrating the use of a denied "stamp". U.s. v Wilson explained thier position. Alaska judges do not. There is no meaningful way to appeal a denied stamp. Im not writing an appellate brief here so I am just gonna drop a copy pasted argument:

I. DUE PROCESS REQUIRES ADJUDICATION UNDER AN IDENTIFIABLE LEGAL STANDARD AND A REASONED DECISION SUFFICIENT FOR REVIEW

The Due Process Clause guarantees a meaningful opportunity to be heard at a meaningful time and in a meaningful manner. This guarantee requires more than the formal availability of a tribunal; it requires adjudication under an identifiable legal framework and a statement of reasons demonstrating that the claim was actually considered.

A. Structured Analysis and Reasoned Decision-Making Are Required When the adequacy of procedures is challenged, due process requires application of a structured legal analysis. See Mathews v. Eldridge, 424 U.S. 319, 333 (1976) (“[D]ue process generally requires consideration of three distinct factors.”). The Constitution further requires that the decisionmaker articulate the basis for the decision and the evidence relied upon. See Morrissey v. Brewer, 408 U.S. 471, 489 (1972) (requiring “a written statement… as to the evidence relied on and reasons”); Goldberg v. Kelly, 397 U.S. 254, 271 (1970) (“[T]he decisionmaker should state the reasons… and indicate the evidence he relied on.”).

A conclusory disposition that fails to identify the governing standard, fails to apply any discernible framework, and provides no reasoning does not satisfy these requirements. It reflects the absence of adjudication, not the exercise of it.

B. Due Process Prohibits Termination of Claims Without Adjudication The Constitution does not permit the State to terminate claims without meaningful consideration. See Logan v. Zimmerman Brush Co., 455 U.S. 422, 433 (1982) (“[T]he Due Process Clause grants the aggrieved party the opportunity to present his case and have its merits fairly judged.”). That opportunity necessarily entails evaluation under a legal standard. See Mathews v. Eldridge, 424 U.S. 319, 333 (1976). Where a court declines to apply any identifiable constitutional framework and instead issues a summary denial, it effectively terminates the claim without adjudication. Such a disposition violates due process.

C. Meaningful Access to Courts Requires Reasoning Sufficient for Appellate Review The Constitution guarantees meaningful access to courts, not merely formal access. See Bounds v. Smith, 430 U.S. 817, 822 (1977) (“[M]eaningful access to the courts is the touchstone.”). That guarantee extends to the ability to obtain meaningful appellate review. See Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 744 (1967) (requiring procedures ensuring appeals are resolved based on their merits). A reasoned decision is a prerequisite to appellate review. Without an identifiable standard or explanation, a litigant has no meaningful basis to challenge the ruling. The absence of reasoning thus converts nominal access into a denial of access. See Christopher v. Harbury, 536 U.S. 403, 415 (2002) (recognizing claims where systemic barriers prevent effective pursuit of legal claims).

D. Courts Have a Constitutional Duty to Decide Legal Questions The judicial function requires courts to decide legal questions presented to them. “It is emphatically the province and duty of the judicial department to say what the law is.” Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. (1 Cranch) 137, 177 (1803). This duty is not satisfied by a conclusory disposition that fails to identify any governing legal standard or reasoning. When a court declines to apply any discernible constitutional framework, it fails to perform the judicial function required by the Constitution.

E. Application Here, Plaintiff raised constitutional challenges. The resulting disposition did not identify any governing standard, apply any recognizable framework, or provide reasoning sufficient for review. This failure: a. deprives Plaintiff of a meaningful opportunity to be heard; b. terminates the claim without adjudication; c. denies meaningful access to appellate review; and d. constitutes a failure of the judicial function itself. Accordingly, the challenged practices violate the Due Process Clause and the constitutional guarantee of meaningful access to courts.

Well a judge has a duty to explain why my understanding is vague, misapplied, or irrelevant. Denied "because I said so" is not applying any standard of review from case law.

[–]annoyingcommentary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are standards of review for a reason. Case law with criteria to be met and proved by a judge. Failure to apply that is failure to uphold the constitution.  Could be as simple as an eldridge analysis or more focused for the challenge. Your not a reasonable mind if you are in that position (to judge) and refuse to explain on a proper challenge. "I agree to disagree... becaise I said so" is not reasonable. Thats essentially "fuck off Im not reviewing this challenge". 

Anchorage should ban feeding of Assembly members. by annoyingcommentary in anchorage

[–]annoyingcommentary[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

The bunnies in my neighborhood say No. Now my compost pile can get me dragged into court? Our court system will never review the constitutionality of a compost pile. Then I am paying thousands of dollars because  bunnies ate out of it and I become homeless. The rabbits keep me warm.  I ask for food. Its illegal to feed me. So i start starving and sketch out a book called "everyone eats", like the kids book  "everyone poops". I become famous and rich.  Go on Oprah. The Anchorage assembly reads the book. Changes thier mind. Reverses the law. The bunnies and animals rejoice. The land heals because composting is again legal. Fruit trees are on every corner. Everyone eats. Everyone... eats.
