Impeachment of JCouncil Member Unterhalter Tomorrow
The Senate is planning on holding the impeachment trial of Jessice Unterhalter at their meeting on Wednesday. As of yet, I have seen no evidence warranting her impeachment, and a lot of evidence that this is motivated by reasons other than the belief that she violated any rules in an egregious enough fashion to be impeached.

That being said, this is a very serious issue, not only because it relates to a single person's position, but because it goes to the heart of the balance of power in the ASUC, and whether or not we can have a free and fair Judicial Council able to check the actions of the executive and legislative branches. Senators who do not treat the proceedings with the weight that they deserve should be publicly shamed.

And although it is impossible to ascertain an individual's reason for voting the way that they do, one thing I expect of every member who votes in the impeachment is that they have read the statement released by Unterhalter explaining her actions. Therefore, any Senator who takes part in the impeachment and shows a flagrant disregard for Unterhalter's statement on this matter, or a fundamental lack of understanding about the Judicial Rules of Procedure and the other governing documents is tremendously irresponsible, and undeserving of being a senator. I plan on calling any guilty parties an idiot on CalStuff, so those who don't have the time or interest in attending the hearing will be sure to know who the guilty parties are, and depending on how severe their ignorance is, I may have to call their party idiots as well, and possibly the voters who voted for them, too. I hope this impeachment is handled well, and that the Senators show this proceeding the respect that it deserves.Email This Post!
