siouxfaninseattle Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 I thought he said he didn't want to do anything that would harm UND? http://www.grandforksherald.com/event/article/id/229449/ Quote
Cratter Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 No disrespect, but the article is already posted and being talked about in these forums. Quote
Goon Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 NO! The only way we could deport him if he had questionable immigration status. Quote

The SBHE is an arm of the executive branch. They do not get to make laws; they get to administer and enforce them. Quote
UNDBIZ Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 NO! The only way we could deport him if he had questionable immigration status. Unfortunately, even then it would be unlikely. Quote
Goon Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 Unfortunately, even then it would be unlikely. Yeah, you're right... Quote
ScottM Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 Unfortunately, even then it would be unlikely. How about an "extraordinary rendition" to say Jordan or Morocco? Quote
Goon Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 How about an "extraordinary rendition" to say Jordan or Morocco? can we use water boarding on him? Quote
The Sicatoka Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 No disrespect either, but if the SBHE wins this lawsuit it may mean drastic consequences for the State above and beyond athletic-related issues. The SBHE is an arm of the executive branch. They do not get to make laws; they get to administer and enforce them. The SBoHE (part of the executive branch) has been granted certain administrative powers and authorities under the State constitution. Other branches of government can't violate those powers. The NDSC will determine if that has happened. As far as drastic consequences, yes, there may be. We may end up back in the overly political realm where the Legislature micromanages the NDUS campuses. That gives Al Carlson and Rob Port extreme priapism when they ponder it. Quote

We may end up back in the overly political realm where the Legislature micromanages the NDUS campuses. That gives Al Carlson and Rob Port extreme priapism when they ponder it. Reasonable minds may certainly disagree. But I'm not convinced that that the Court will view the legislature's mere requirement of maintaining 70 years of the status quo as micromanaging when, all the while, the legislature has passed laws that cap the SBHE's yearly student fee increases down to a percentage point. I'd agree with you that the latter is micromanaging, but not the former. In other words, if the nickname legislation is unconstitutional because of it's alleged encroachment of the SBHE's powers, then so is most of the statutory scheme upon which the SBHE is based. In the past, the Supreme Court has found laws unconstitutional because the legislature was giving too much authority by way of lawmaking power to the SBHE. The SBHE better come up with a better argument than a separation of powers or "who controls the nickname" battle, because the Court has already answered this direct question. The legislature writes the laws and the SBHE administers the laws. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 ... maintaining 70 years of the status quo ... In-state status quo you mean. In the rest of the world, the reality has changed. UND lives both in and out of the state. Quote
Benny Baker Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 In-state status quo you mean. In the rest of the world, the reality has changed. UND lives both in and out of the state. I'm not sure what you mean or what your statement has to do with the Supreme Court's decision. For your reference, by status quo, I meant continuing use of the "Fighting Sioux" moniker which has been in place since the 1930s. Quote
VMeister Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 NO! The only way we could deport him if he had questionable immigration status. Deportation should be used as a punishment. The guy already lives in Fargo... 2 Quote
UNDBIZ Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 can we use water boarding on him? Careful, Lakes will accuse you of threatening a legislator Quote

darell1976 Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 Greatest city in North Dakota! Since I moved here in '99 it is. Fargoans can thank me later. Quote

I'm not sure even the Canadians deserve having two of them around ... can we send him to Iran or North Korea instead? Quote

watchmaker49 Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 Greatest city in North Dakota! If it were a city and not a suburb looking for a city to attach itself to. 1 Quote
fightingsioux4life Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 What are the recall provisions for elected officials in North Dakota? Because I think a recall campaign against "Clueless Al" is just what the doctor ordered. End his political career before he can screw anything else up. Quote
fightingsioux4life Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 If it were a city and not a suburb looking for a city to attach itself to. Good comment! Fargo is the Minneapolis wanna-be of North Dakota. I believe they are about the same size as Bloomington, MN (a Minneapolis suburb). Looks like they are about 1.5 million people short. Quote
