UF Supreme Court not playing fairly
By Ryan Nelson | Feb. 14, 2008Dear UF Supreme Court, you clearly do not deserve to finish your degrees being that you have no comprehension of how the law works. A constitutional amendment allowing online voting was denied Tuesday on the grounds that - wait for it - it was unconstitutional. Let us all shout a resounding, "Duh."By definition, any constitutional amendment is unconstitutional. If it wasn't we wouldn't need to amend anything now would we? Your decision to deny students the right to vote on their own constitution is unfathomable.
