Whee
Not that it'll really matter, but Ben Narodick has submitted his briefs for the executive order cases. The deadline is 11:45pm today, but I don't actually expect Student Action to submit anything.
From the brief against Manny's EO:
Additionally, President Buenrostro has asserted in Executive Order #7 that "...any further action on this matter not be undertaken until after the ASUC Senate returns to campus in the Fall of 2006 and the Judicial Council is properly reconstituted to its full nine members." To be frank, President Buenrostro does not have the ability to dictate how many members must be on the Judicial Council, nor does he have the ability to dictate if or when the Judicial Council can hear a case. The ASUC Constitution, as well as the Judicial Rules of Procedures listed below which have been approved by the ASUC Senate, give the Judicial Council full discretion to be an independent non-political arbitrator of all actions of the Association. As such, President Buenrostro's assertion to ultimate authority is as faulty as Louis XIV's assertion to the divine right of kings.
Ben cites, in a footnote, the Wikipedia page on the topic.
