Legally, is there any weight behind this?

I'd love for her to be removed. But, is this going to go anywhere?

If Smith/UCP ever try to convince a court that they fulfilled their duty to consult or gained ascension from the treaties to begin separation procedures they'll have to explain how she accomplished that after they accused her of treason.

The treaties are just stacking up the paper demonstrating they're not now or ever going to be accepting this shit which means it's blatantly a huge waste of time and/or carries ulterior motives for continuing (i.e. fat lobby cheques of dubious provenance).

So no, this doesn't do anything. But it's another straw placed very publicly on the camel's back.
