Nat's amicus curiae on the justiciability of this case:

NHC's complaint seeks to demonstrate that Concrete Slab has committed extortion through exercising and threatening to exercise the powers invested in him as a government official. If the court holds that Concrete Slab's actions were lawful and proper exercise of his official power, it would be absurd to find him guilty of extortion. While it may fit the definition, the lawful and proper threat of using official powers can not be found to be extortion lest anarchy is to be instituted. Because of this, I submit that the court needs to establish whether Concrete Slab's actions were a lawful and proper exercise of official power. If there is no misuse of office, there cannot be any criminal extortion. In essence, that would make this charge about corruption rather than about extortion.
