Bryan Center—In a surprisingly bold counter-move, Duke Student Government president-elect Nolan Smith ruled the student government’s judiciary’s ruling of his decision unconstitutional to be unconstitutional.
“The judiciary board said that my decision to open up the senate races to candidates of my choice was unconstitutional, on the grounds that the constitution doesn’t give me the power to do that.” Nolan said, “But, the constitution doesn’t give them the power to rule decisions unconstitutional. Thus, I rule their decision unconstitutional and therefore void.”
As far as constitutional specialists can tell, this leaves every student government position open for the taking.
The Constitution could not be reached for comment.
