Compare & Contrast: Case # 24 & 25,
So this morning I get a call around 10am informing me that another Court case was filed in SGAO. I go up to the third floor and get the case documents. Then around 1pm I get another call.. ANOTHER case was filed.
The Defendants (and Defendant offices) listed:
Case # 24: Vicki Swett, Alex Park (Creative Media, SGAO)
Case # 25: Vicki Swett, Mark Champagn, Ceative Media (Creative Media, SGAO)
Listed "brief description of the arguments Plaintiff will make":
Case # 24: "The Defendants are not acting in the letter or spirit of the amendment [Constitution Article II, Section 5 & Article III Section 3.2], specifically the clause that provides for an independant count. This makes it nearly impossible for any one to analyze the data, putting the data to print on 800+ pages, available only while in the SGAO office, when a computer program is required. This violation undermines the integrity of the system because it prevents public oversight and transparency.
Case # 25: "SGAO failed to make the documents [ASUCD Constitution, Judicial Codes, Standing Rules, Government Codes, etcitera] stated within the bill [2003 Senate Bill # 48] online as of the stated date of September 2003. Specifically, the Director of Creative Media, Alex Park, and the Student Government Advisor, Vicki Swett, failed to decide how to implement this bill as stated in Section 2 of SB48."
The ASUCD Court has yet to decide whether or not it shall accept these cases, and shall likely not do that until next quarter (as only three academic days remain in this quarter). We here at Emosnail attest that the above information has been objectively transcribed from the filed documents and does not imply any opinion of anyone but the Plaintiffs. The Defendants are assumed innocent until proven guilty.

Today I replaced ASUCD President Sara Henry with ASUCD President Kalen Gallagher, by swearing him and Vice President, Paloma Perez into office. This of course is the second ASUCD President (& VP) that I've sworn into office.
Sara Henry is no longer in office ...that means I can talk about her now. ...but I don't think I will. I maintain however that the campaign to unseat me was completely bogus and motivated by all the wrong reasons. Shame on all those involved.
The Kerryman
After inexplicably disappearing for more than three months, Sean the crazy Irishman has returned to Davis. I saw him briefly today and I'll see him tomorrow hopefully.

Addressing the senate on the issue really has only tangential relevance to the Case. If one is interested in being actively involved, they should talk to the Plaintiff(s) or Defendant(s) and off them what assistence one can in presenting their Case to the Court.
Also the single biggest factor in the authority and enforcement of Court rulings is (in the opinion of Emosnail Internat'l at least) media attention. Therefore writing letters / guest opinions to the Aggie on the subject is highly relevant, as would be helping the Party of your choice with press releases.
The above applies equally to either Party in any actual or potential ASUCD Supreme Court case, and does not represent any official opinion of the ASUCD Supreme Court
