[Lnc-business] Judicial committee

==Two At-Large received a majority of votes.  Sam Goldstein and Joe
Bishop-Henchman.==

Those are the only two legitimately elected.

==Concerning the other three At-Large vote-getters, I don't think it's for
the LNC decide to overrule the delegate body, which did vote for a
suspension of rules and to accept the top-five, even if some didn't have a
majority vote.===

They were led to believe they had only two choices - bad and worse.  That
is not an independent reasoned decision.  And they had to decide in a rush.

     So, while the delegate body did vote to suspend the rules for the
     At-Large, and let the top five candidates be the winners, that rule
     suspension doesn't apply to the judicial committee.  (Per Nick's
     decision at the convention.)
     It's really just the judicial committee that's in limbo.
     The previous judicial committee is disbanded when the convention
     ends.  The LNC doesn't have the authority to appoint a new judicial
     committee, as the bylaws say only the judicial committee can't
     appoint members, but there is no judicial committee.
