The Student Government Senate voted to override SG President Stuart Watkins’ veto on a concurrent resolution, which provides for keeping the integrity of the judicial process, said Basic Sciences Sen. Ben Clark.The resolution requests the recusal of all members of the judicial branch who have made any public or private endorsement or who have offered counsel to any ticket, candidate or campaign in any subsequent appeal cases of the spring SG runoff election.”If there’s proof they’re obviously supporting one candidate, this is just a safety net,” Clark said.The Senate also debated the resolution in Tuesday’s special session.College of Basic Sciences Sen. Jared Bourgeois said he thinks justices who have supported a candidate will publicly recuse themselves anyway.”This is a threat,”  Bourgeois said. “I think it’s unnecessary and slightly rude.”Business Sen. Emily Landry said the resolution oversteps the Senate’s boundaries.”They should recuse themselves if they’ve been involved in any way on any campaign,”  Landry said.  “They should have learned from their mistakes.””I want to make sure that the people who are deciding one of the most important cases in LSU SG history are fair,” Clark said.Senate also voted to allocate $1,200 to reimburse 20 University students who did out-of-state volunteer work during winter and spring breaks.The projects included a campus kitchen project, Hurricane Ike relief and Hope for Homes. Each student will receive $60 for his or her trip expenses.The Senate also passed a new student senator code of conduct, which prevented laptops in the Senate chamber unless being used to read legislation or for academic purposes.The code of conduct also prevents election apparel on the Senate floor and requires senators to dress in an appropriate manner.Speaker of the Senate Tyler Martin and Arts and Sciences Sen. Drew Prestridge authored the legislation.The point of the appropriate dress is to have senators present themselves at all times in an ethical, moral and presentable way, Martin said.—–Contact Catherine Threlkeld at [email protected]
