The Scope has long been known for its failure to understand and its hatred of Amarrian culture. I find that you get a far more objective viewpoint from ACN.

Of course she has something to hide. I have things to hide, you have things to hide, The Mittani has things to hide. Why wouldn't the leader of the largest Empire in human history have things to hide?

Why wouldn't the leader of the largest Empire in human history have things to hide? Try to activate an Entosis Link on a ship piloted by you, myself or The Mittani and previous research into the device shows that nothing will happen. But one worked on a Jamyl's. Why is that? Aren't you curious why her ship is so uniquely compatible with the use of an Entosis Link?
I'm patient enough to wait for the present to be unwrapped at the appropriate time and not a moment before.
I have a feeling that it will be worth the wait.

So typical.
You're right that there are some Holders who feel that Jamyl's Great Emancipation violated their rights to keep slaves, but I don't see what this has to do with the subject at hand?

When Brother Joshua invoked censure against Heir Aritcio Kor-Azor for his various abuses of power, there was very little resistance to it, as he had little support from his subjects. But one must remember that Aritcio's actions were actually perfectly legal - the Heirs, are, after all, above such things as secular law. Likewise, Aritcio had not actually transgressed any religous law, either; the law that allowed his followers to cut him to pieces repeatedly was actually a right afforded to them to receive restitution for injury, which was not technically an invocation of punishment. No-one was going to stand up for Aritcio, as he'd made the terribly grave mistake of rendering himself unlikeable without also rendering himself untouchable. Ultimately, Aritcio was dismembered because the Speakers of Truth said he should be, and because no-one with the power to do so objected.
You have to remember that many aspects of Imperial law are feudal in nature. Whilst the nobility have great power, they also have great responsibility towards those under them. In such a system the line between punishment and restitution can be blurred.
As someone who was there, I have to say that Brother Joshua would disagree with you over the legality of Lord Kor-Azor's actions.
Yes the punishments meted out to Lord Kor-Azor were in response to injuries inflicted by him, but those injuries were the result of illegal actions. Whilst I am not at liberty to divulge the specifics because elements of the case have never been entered into the public domain, Lord Kor-Azor was shown to have overstepped the bounds of his authority and inflicted egregious punishments on his subordinates and his vassals where no punishment was warranted on multiple occasions throughout his sphere of control.
Brother Joshua's final judgement was that Lord Kor-Azor should be punished for each of his infractions. Whilst each individual punishment was minor, the cumulative effect was substantial.

Possibly true but ultimately meaningless, as the Heirs are explicitly outside the constraints of secular law. That's what mandated the intervention of a Speaker of Truth in the first place.
Again, you're failing to take into account the feudal nature of Amarrian civil society.
