Opposing Justice
May. 17th, 2006 01:08 am So reportedly newly appointed ASUCD comptroller Kai Savaree-Ruess, having completed his crusade to combine ASUCD's two massive volumes of bylaws into one hulking uber-volume of bylaws*, and having just finished with budget hearings, has now turned his attention to the Court. At the Internal Affairs Commission on Monday he made a presentation revealing his aspiration to eliminate the Court from ASUCD -- he does not believe ASUCD needs a Court.
We all had a good laugh last year, when Darth Lloyd tried to eliminate the Court because he believed in the absolute supremacy of senate, but it was only funny once. I've got better things to do than fight the same battle against the roundheads every year.
Sources believe Ruess's presentation Monday was intended to set the foundation for an upcoming constitutional amendment he intends to write to eliminate the Court.
*The principal effect of combining the Senate's Standing Rules with the Government Codes (other than making it more tedious to find anything) was in forging a bold statement that the rules of order for Legislative Branch meetings are one and the same with the branch-wide guidelines -- that the Senate is the Government.
On any account, it would have been nice of him to give someone in the Judicial Branch a heads up that he was about to propose radical changes to it.
