[Lnc-business] Support for Caryn Ann Harlos' Motion To Rescind

[Alicia Mattson]

CAH>  At Large members Daniel Hayes and Starchild have co-sponsored my
motion.  An additional co-sponsor is needed for this to be heard.  And if
not passed, the membership would have the right to appeal to the Judicial
Committee.

You keep saying this.  Is it your belief that if the LNC refuses to adopt a
given motion, the Judicial Committee has some sort of authority to make us
adopt it?  If so, please cite the bylaw which gives you that impression.
Veto power and legislative power are quite different things.
