A few final thoughts
I have a few minor criticisms of the appeal decision. One is that it left a potential reversible error unreversed, though admittedly, no one argued for it to be fixed during the hearing. In the appeal decision, the Judicial Council bemoans the fact that they can't slap anyone down for perjury because it's not listed as a campaign violation. However, Andy, in the original case, argued that it was listed as a campaign violation, namely "Willfully violating a lawful order from the ASUC Judicial Council or Elections Council." In the decision for that case, it was written "As the outcome of the default judgment makes Mr. Ratto's additional requested remedies irrelevant, the merit of his charges regarding new campaign violations is not considered in this decision." It is now demonstrably false that those remedies were irrelevant, and perhaps they should have been considered.
