Give it up - at this point Senko is either slow, spiteful, or foreign. In my experience, foreigners tend toward better grammar than native speakers (a fact that occasionally causes me to weep quietly in the middle of the night).
Only in America, a fact which should make you weep more
Everyone out here teaches better English than is taught in the US. (MY LJ friends list includes a wonderful gal that is a HS English teacher [Master's degree]. A casual glance at her posts reveals the fact that she can't spell and the grammar isn't much better.)

Obvously, time magic is allowed in Veracia, that's where the time-monks live.
Unless the Ensigerium operates outside the law.
AFAICT and from Anita's interview with the head of the Veracian Church, the law is at the whim of the Ensigerum. They are not outside the law, they are above the law, and the law is whatever they say it is.
Veracia is ruled by the ultra-elite, which tells the Church what they want and the Church makes it happen, all unbeknownst to the general populous. They cynically use religion for civil control, to keep the population repressed. The alliance between the Ensigerum and the Veracian Church can be best described as being forged in Hell, with the Veracian Church, along with Dame Justice, taking the Ensigerum load in any oriface the Ensigerum deign to leave it, or not, as the case may be.

I do not thank you.
And, please, think to wash your mouth next time you intend an hurting racist comment.
You are being a mite too touchy. It wasn't a racist remark. There is a fine and sharp difference between racism and general bigotry. General bigotry knows no race or gender. The offending comment, for example, applies to all people not native to the US, regardless of race, gender, or color. It applies equally to a white Swede, as it does to a black South African, a brown Malaysian, and a crazy Harajuku Japanese. Conversely, it includes members of all those races and cultures that were born and raised in the US. At best stretch, the comment is Nationalistic and a certain amount of that is allowed, although many of us would like to see it applied with a bit more intelligence.
It is therefore not a racist comment.
