you’ve got to be kidding
i have always believed in and respected all forms of government. whether it be federal or "little people" i’ve always stood behind the belief that they are representative of an honorable process, one that can be trusted and believed in. i always believed in the asuc and the judicial council to, despite all of their very human flaws, carry out their duties to the best of their abilities.
i can honestly say that as of this moment, i no longer have faith in the judicial council or in the abilities of the ASUC. the decision that the judicial council has made is both bothersome and flawed and is reflective of a much larger issue at hand. this issue is having people in powerful positions who either won’t or can not stand up to the honor, distinction and pressure of the jobs that they have been charged with.
simply put, this whole situation has gotten way out of hand and until now, there has been no one in a position to truly challenge each branch of the government to perform honestly and efficiently. it is a sad time when that day finally comes and it becomes obvious that these unchallenged branches can’t stand up to the pressure.
here is some advice for future members of the judicial council/senators/ and asuc execs: if you are going to accept the job with which you have been charged, you take an oath for a reason. if you find that from the moment of appointment or election (certified OR not), that you are not strong enough, with enough character, or trustworthy enough to uphold it, then please, do everyone you will be serving a favor and decline to accept the office you have been offered.
to be clear, this is not a rant about everyone screwing up bc sa won. i not pro any specific person or party. i am, however, for branches of the government executing their jobs to the best of their ability and not giving in to weakness or to taking the easy route, and unfortunately, that is what has occurred in this instance.
when i sober up, i’ll post analysis specific to the judicial council’s decision. until then, be disgusted with the way in which your respresentitives in every branch of student government both past, but mostly present, have conducted themselves in the face of pressure and truth.
