		<description>@Megan Cruz - Ew to you.  Just like President Dolgin, your BS doesn&#039;t even stand up to reason.  &quot;Technically the temporary amendments stand...&quot; Then so they do.  It&#039;s not that they don&#039;t on some technicality you dreamed up - if it&#039;s *technically* from a technical document from a constitution, then that&#039;s what it means.  Like...can you even be serious?  Are you not doing this to get into law school (if not, why else?)? If so, please  don&#039;t embarrass yourself by feigning ignorance about how these things work.  

Student government types are all the same.  I never thought I&#039;d be saying that Jenny Shen&#039;s crusade against Dolgin seems like it was the right thing to do, but you guys really have some chutzpah.  I have never been involved with any student government at NYU that 1) made sense and 2) didn&#039;t just &quot;vote&quot; in its incumbents or best friends through procedural techniques so that you could abuse the petty power of having access to a closet in Kimmel or Silver.  Like, really?  You should have just done what you people always do and not put it on paper.  That would have been *more* honest - where is the PRIDE?

Nick Mester&#039;s right: But at least you guys could have enough dignity and take yourselves seriously enough to be less obvious with your petty power-grabs.</description>

		<description>Edgar, I believe the saying is, &quot;You can&#039;t complain unless you vote,&quot; not, &quot;You can&#039;t complain unless you run.&quot;

As someone with no interest in holding elected office myself, I am wholly against the statute being put forth by the student council, which inherently discriminates against those, like Pat, who decide to become involved later in their academic life. I am also adverse to the notion that my only venue of dissent should be my own run for council.

As they are (I assume) your constituents, shouldn&#039;t you be listening to their concerns instead of mocking them?</description>

		<description>&quot;The problem is that the Council is self-determining what they think is best for the voting bloc.&quot;
