Loading ...Student Action, apparantly deciding that their attempt to exact some tiny pyrrhic victory after “the failure of SB 51″:http://dailycal.org/sharticle.php?id=22013 was just not farcical enough, is “going to try to get ASUC Executive Vice President Vishal Gupta to preside over the impeachment hearing of Judicial Council Chair Sonya Banerjee”:http://dailycal.org/sharticle.php?id=22280.
This is the same Vishal Gupta who, along with Oren Gabriel and the rest of the Student Action executive slate, “filed for a restraining order against the Judicial Council this summer”:http://dailycal.org/sharticle.php?id=20895.
This is the same Vishal Gupta who told former ASUC Senator Ben Narodick that, after the Judicial Council issued a ruling against Student Action, he had “lost faith in the internal processes of the ASUC”:http://dailycal.org/sharticle.php?id=20879.
This is the same Vishal Gupta who is on record “directly criticizing what he obviously considers the too-broad power of the Council”:http://www.dailycal.org/sharticle.php?id=21848: “There should be some kind of provision that does not give the Judicial Council full legislative and judiciary authority.” (For the record, the Council only has the power to review accusations of violations of the ASUC bylaws, which is a far cry from full legislative authority.)
And this is a man inextricably linked with ASUC President Oren Gabriel, who has said the legal fees incurred by the Student Action executive slate (which includes Gupta) are “quite a burden “caused by the Judicial Council’s inability to act within the guidelines of the ASUC constitution, bylaws and their own judicial rules of procedure”:http://dailycal.org/sharticle.php?id=21980.”
All of these cases are directly related to the impeachment charges against Banerjee. And yet Gupta is actually claiming he has no personal interest in this case?
Banerjee is being impeached on allegations of procedural violations. In the appeal of the exact case she is being impeached over, Gupta argued that the council had “(issued) “a judgment unprocedurally against Student Action executives”:http://www.dailycal.org/sharticle.php?id=20917 in (this) case.”
Oh yeah. He’ll definitely be objective.
