The Government of the Student Body Supreme Court has not heard a case since spring 1994, but now it’s ready for action again.

David Baer, who was seated as supreme court justice at Wednesday night’s GSB meeting, said the court has not had the six justices needed to make quorum since its last case in 1994.

After seating four justices at Wednesday’s meeting, including one justice that was seated by emergency legislation, the GSB Supreme Court is full, at least full enough to hear a case.

For the third week, the Senate debated and questioned candidates applying to be supreme court justices.

Tom Jansen and Joel Kincart were seated as associate justices.

At the end of the meeting, after one justice was rejected and another withdrew his application, the Senate made an emergency legislation to seat senator Rodney Morris, TRA, on the senate judiciary committee so there would be a full supreme court if a problem arose.

Many of the candidates were present at the meeting in order for the Senate to question them.

The main concern of the Senate was the candidates’ possible conflict of interest, which would prevent them from performing their duties fairly.

Mark Holm, a former LAS senator and the president of the Interfraternity Council (IFC), was rejected by the Senate to serve as an associate justice.

The main concern of the Senate was Holm’s conflict of interest.

“While I applaud Holm on his outspokenness and involvement in campus organizations, I don’t exactly see those as being good qualities of a good Supreme Court Justice,” said Rob Ruminski, LAS.

John Hamilton, business, said the only type of people that are going to apply for a Supreme Court Justice position are those who are involved in different organizations and who have opinions.

Another candidate for GSB Supreme Court Associate Justice, Chad Fleener, withdrew.

The Senate also seated new a LAS senator, Doug Miller, and a new engineering senator, Jamal White, to serve for the rest of the academic year.
