Aww...
And I didn't go because I thought it would be boring. Apparently, Jessica Wren's confirmation for Elections Council Chair turned whiny.
The senate's debate centered around a political cartoon posted on Facebook that pictured numerous stick figures urinating on a copy of the ASUC constitution. A comment from Wren stating "I love you" appeared underneath the posting. I wonder if people know how Facebook works. You say crap like that about everything anyone you know does. And I know the Senate knows how Facebook works, because that's what they do during Senate meetings, instead of paying attention. The Facebook message in question is here. The exchange above the cartoon with Jeff Manassero is pretty enlightening. (I actually noted it way back)
Some senators said Wren's comment showed bias and suggested the senate find a new candidate for the position. Wren should only be considered, they argued, if another candidate could not be found within one week.
Wren, who was the only applicant for the position and served as the Elections Council chair last year, told the senate she would withdraw her application unless she was approved at the meeting.
"I am tired of my time being wasted," she told the senate. Haha! The Senate got Cacholown3d! Jessica wrote me to correct that she'd withdraw the application only if they tabled, not if they either confirmed or rejected her.
One issue Jessica mentioned that wasn't in the Daily Cal was that apparently Ilana Nankin and Donald Rizzo had a problem with her being held in contempt over the summer in relation to Ben's case against the GA referendum. I would think being held in contempt by the Judicial Council would be a benefit with those two, though.
It looks like Anil Daryani again slapped some sense into his party, by noting that Jessica doesn't really have the power to screw with elections.
David Wasserman apparently asked Vivienne Nguyen something to the effect of: "Does this suggest that [Jessica] is biased against a certain political party or that she thinks they acted against the constitution?"
