If I may ask the prospective Scribe some brief questions.

Does he share the opinion of the Seshat that actions of the executive are, barring extraordinary circumstances, beyond judicial review;

Does he support the present practice of the Seshat, in regards to issuing advisory opinions on matters of law, that is, does he think it should continue and, if so, how does he think it could be improved, if at all;

What is his opinion on the extent to which the Seshat can, and should, be permitted to refuse to bring a criminal charge before the Pschent;

What hat, of the following three, would he most prefer to wear, were he required, and why: bowler hat, top hat, trilby?

Perhaps you should reread the opinion I put forth. Not all actions of the executive as you would characterize it.
Here I will quote it for you.

The ministry holds that any action that falls within the constitutionally mandated duties of the executive is, barring extraordinary circumstances; beyond such review.

So for instance if the Pharaoh were negotiating a treaty with a foreign government the courts could not declare that to be illegal because it is in fact part of his duties.
Or if the Pharaoh offered up appointments to the Deshret for the various ministries, or for the office of Vizier then such routine actions are beyond review as they are part of the job.

I hope this clarifies your understanding councilor.

The Pschent cannot overrule the state code. Nor was Datford suggesting as such. I think I need to walk away from this stupidity before I say what I'm thinking.
