BREAKING: Judicial Council to reapportion Senate
In an incredibly rare exercise of its constitutional power, the ASUN Judicial Council will issue an order to reapportion the Senate, due to the failure of both the ASUN President and Senate to satisfy their constitutional duties, sources close to the Council said this evening. We'll have the order once it's made available to us. We were the first to discuss this issue here.
UPDATE 1/21/2010: The ASUN Website appears to be offline, and we have not yet received a copy of the order. If this experience is any indication, I suppose I shouldn't expect to see the order for seven months or so.

Actually, I believe it is Reilly's problem, not the Senate's. We tried to get the numbers by the date required, but were not given them. The Senate has no power to apportion seats.
ReplyDeleteAnd let's be honest, Eli did not even look at the numbers... pot head.
DOT, I thought you were a Reilly supporter?
ReplyDeleteDOT,
ReplyDeleteWhy is it not the Senate's problem? Doesn't the Constitution say its the Senate's responsibility to reallocate it's seats every two years? Even though the Senate delegated this to the president, doesn't the Senate bear any responsibility to make sure the president is following the law?
And how would you go about proving the senate HASNT tried to make sue he followed through? A number of senators told him when he needed to have this done. He simply refused to listen.
ReplyDeleteAnd thorney, i am not an anyone supporter.
Is the Senate without remedy to deal with a recalcitrant President who simply refuses to do his duties? Does the Senate share in the blame when they refuse to hold the President accountable for his failures?
ReplyDeleteI believe the communication to the judicial board WAS holding the president responsible.
ReplyDeleteI can state quite confidently, based on personal knwoledge of this matter, that the Judicial Council never heard from the Senate in this matter. The justices acted completely of their own volition.
ReplyDeleteAnd I can state quite confidently, that you are wrong. Also because of personal "knwoledge" of this matter. The senate as a whole never passed any formal communication, but communication was there.
ReplyDeleteTrust me, I am just as pissed as you are (maybe more so). Whatever you are hearing from the judicial council, it is not correct.
