zzzzz
I'm too tired to do much whining, so I'll just talk about some of the referenda defenders and their complaints.
"The (executive order) isn't the president’s personal dictator button," Davis said.
Mike has good sound bytes.
ASUC officials and proponents of the two referenda said that the abruptness of the suits and the injunctions threw them off guard.
"This entire process stinks of a due process violation. What is the propriety or fairness of this injunction when it was rushed through in the dead of the night," said Graduate Assembly President and autonomy referendum author Rishi Sharma, who accused Davis of filing the suits in bad faith.
It's sort of hard to complain about abruptness when you put these two referenda on the ballot with no publicity and hope no one notices them before election day.
"If this had happened a week ago, there would have been many remedies. They didn't give us a lot of options," said External Affairs Vice President and Student Voice Referendum supporter Liz Hall.
If we knew about this referendum a week ago, maybe we could've worked something out.
"I can't help but wonder about the fact that Davis is the former chair that sat with many current justices. It's the effect of personal relationship among an elite group of people who are not accountable to students who furthermore think they can control an election that thousands of people vote in," Hall said. "This was not an injunction, but a decision. It's a horrible precedent, and there's no noble reason for this."
Oho, Liz, now you're just talking out of your ass. It's easy to throw around accusations. Don't like a lack of accountability? Don't push for fees that you are not accountable for. It's a horrible precedent. There's no noble reason for this.
