Recall stuff
I have some amusing stories to tell from today's Senate meeting, but first, some recall stuff.
The recall has been scheduled for Feb. 23-24.
The Judicial Council allowed the Senate to meet even though the recall election hasn't been held yet. The Attorney General noted that he had talked to the Judicial Council about the case before they issued a summary judgment, which he took credit for. (In fact, his report was simply announcements about how awesome he was for winning the cases. Even the one he had taken the other side on) I'm left somewhat skeptical of how appropriate it is for the Judicial Council to hear arguments without hearings in which the other side can respond.
The Judicial Council took the view that the new election wasn't the old election, which meant that the rules associated with timing the old election no longer applied. I wasn't particularly convinced, but my opinion doesn't matter. They also indicated that their decision was partly motivated by their view that harming the ASUC as a whole was inappropriate, which made a great deal more sense.
