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

[Caryn Ann Harlos]

Alicia,

==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.==

Yes I do.  There are members who feel that this process may violate certain
sections of the Bylaws.  You don't have to agree with them.  You don't have
to agree whether it would be a fruitful exercise or futile, or trying to
unring a bell.  They have this right.  I personally think the Bylaws should
give members more power to appeal, but such is what it is.

Article 7, Section 12: Upon appeal by ten percent of the delegates
credentialed at the most recent Regular Convention or one percent of the
Party sustaining members the Judicial Committee shall consider the question
of whether or not a decision of the National Committee contravenes
specified sections of the Bylaws. If the decision is vetoed by the Judicial
Committee, it shall be declared null and void.

I am not going to drop names without permission, but some of the members
who feel this way aren't wet-behind-the-ears new people but experienced
seasoned members' who's opinion I respect.
