aggienaut | Senate Finds Chief Justice to have Jedi Powers (Reply)

   Last night the ASUCD Senate formally concluded that Chief Justice Fricke has jedi powers. Don't expect to see an ASUCD Jedi Council being set up any time soon however -- the Senate seems to think that Fricke uses his powers for evil.

   Specifically, the Senate found that ASUCD Supreme Court Chief Justice Kris Fricke managed to convince nine Internal Affairs Commissioners and twelve senators that a two line bill meant something contradictory to its actual content. To guard against the future abuse of such Jedi mind tricks, they consequently eliminated the ability of Chief Justice Fricke and the other justices to author legislation on anything other than the Court.

   Fricke's official statement on the legislation can be found here.

Swearing at the President
   Also yesterday, before I was found to have Jedi powers, I swore in ASUCD President Caliph Assagai and Vice President Darnell Holloway. Their first act was to allow the recycling unit to make a presentation about Administration (non-ASUCD) plans to can their program.
   Gallagher managed to make one of the few farewell speeches I've ever seen get booed, after he characterized choice voting as "a disease which is spreading from universities, which it is my personal goal to squash."

In Other News: Lebanese Prime Minister Omar Karami has been reappointed by parliament ten days after his (second) resignation. Its just not easy very easy to leave office these days is it.

Picture of the Day - guess where this is:

   Where is this pleasant idyllic location you ask? It is the top of the UCD Landfill. Its ominiously squishy up there.

Shady Quote of the Day
amazonjedimaster: and i am sure that rumour mills already went around that Kris is one of the reasons why i resigned
PrzemekP: oh, I made sure of that too
   Incidently, I'm making sure that everyone knows that the real reason Catherine resigned is because SPAC told her she couldn't remain the leader of MUN and not be on the SPAC forms as the leader; rather than sign the forms, she resigned. Is it really so bad to be officially listed? (note also, this isn't a complaint I raised with SPAC) It doesn't take the skills of a Jedi to fight the influence of the dark side in MUN.
   PS: There's about to be another resignation.
