		<description>Sally,

You are correct: I filed three cases. Two are still pending. Now that Mr. Entsminger has been confirmed as Director of Clubs and Organizations, my cause of action in that case (at least one cause of action) is probably moot. However, I have yet to hear from the Judicial Council as to when they are calendaring the case for argument.</description>

		<description>Quoting from Sean McDonald's comment:

&#62;&#62;Fortunately, last week we were able to get an ASUN Justice to swear her in, thereby defeating my cause of action. As such, I accordingly dropped my case.

Weren't there three cases filed, though? Were the other two dropped as well?</description>

		<description>This situation speaks to President Reilly's original selection panel's inability to find and/or choose a qualified nominee for the Director of Programming.

The Senate should not be faulted for having high standards for ASUN Executive Appointees.

Judging someone qualified because of an impending deadline is illogical and ultimately a disservice to the student body.</description>

		<description>Scarecrow,

To clear up any misunderstandings, I filed the suit against Ms. Muller for one very simple reason: she was engaging in official duties and actions without taking the constitutionally mandated oath *before* entering office. "The...members of the 
executive...of this government, before entering into office, shall take an oath to support this Constitution." Art. I, sec. 2(a). Don't believe me? Look it up. http://www.nevadawiki.org/ASUN_Constitution
https://asun.unr.edu/Docs/OrganizationalDocument/Constitution%20of%20the%20Associated%20Students%202007-public%20print-bor_new%20logo.pdf

Her nomination was confirmed by the Senate more than a month ago. In fact, I voted to confirm her. However, she never took her oath of office, which is a condition on exercising the office to which she was appointed.

Fortunately, last week we were able to get an ASUN Justice to swear her in, thereby defeating my cause of action. As such, I accordingly dropped my case.

The fact that it took my suit to finally get her sworn in is silly, I'll grant you that, but it is also just another symptom of a systemic problem: the inability to take the Constitution and the laws seriously.

Did I want to file a case against her? No. But when a month goes by with no change in the behavior, with no attempt to correct the problem, action needed to be taken. I will repeat what I told Ms. Muller: I have nothing against her (as my vote to confirm her attests), but everybody has to follow the rules.</description>

		<description>Scarecrow, you should have said, REALLY SENATOR!?! (without the 'S').  I know it's easy to blame an entire branch for a disagreement with one person who isn't even a Senator any more, but your bias is showing.</description>

		<description>"Director of Homecoming Brita Muller is already in office because she was appointed by the last senate session. She had charges against her for performing duties before taking the oath of office, but they were dropped after she took the oath Tuesday."

Unbelieveable...its hard enough to find someone who wants to do any job within the ASUN, so when who actually wants the job and starts already doing work for it, someone in the Senate has charges brought against her.

REALLY SENATORS!?!  Instead of doing something constructive with your time, you decided to bring charges and then only drop then a week later.  Just completly insane, I could make better decisions and I don't even have a brain.</description>
