   I ventured up to the Third Floor today, and ran into Kristen Birdsall. She informed me that it is her belief that the four justices OTHER than me on the Court were not properly selected, and thusly should not be considered to be currently in office. Specifically, the interviewing committee which was to forward nominees to Senate was incomplete, and some justices may not have been administered the oath of office.

   I am currently investigating these assertions, and will seek the advice of the 22 Chief Justices of other universities with whom I am in contact. I intend to take Birdsall's concerns seriously and maintain an unbiased position regarding this issue. As such, I will leave advocating for the involved justices up to them -- however, I must say that as a matter of universal policy, they are to be considered duly appointed until proven otherwise in some legitimate and official fashion.

   Since people are always eager to blame things on me, let me say also that the two procedures that were allegedly done incorrectly, composition of the interviewing committee and administration of the oath of office, are the responsibility of the President and the presiding officer of the senate, respectively.

I am Appointed to the ASUCD Supreme Court - Sometime later I'd realize I hadn't been sworn in and go make someone administer it to me just to cover my ass. Also I meet Amy Zimmerman's twin sister Sharon and hang out with them. Also, good times as a Coffee House cashier. I was like, a CoHo cashier before it was even cool.

Myself and my three other collegues operated in good faith regarding the interviewing and confirmation process. Checking over the minutes and my memory, not a single Senator even asked a Question of the 4 judicial candidates, let alone raised a salient objection. As such, I consider myself and my collegues to have been duly appointed by the President and Confirmed by the Senate. If Senate Pro-tempore Birdsall wishes to challenge that assertation, she is free to file a court case in its regards ;)

I agree with Joe. The four of us were confirmed by the senate.

I like how the Senators don't have to follow the rules to be sworn in, but the Court is punished when the Senate and Executive don't follow the rules.

Kristen Birdsall is no longer "On Notice", she is now officially "Dead To Me".
