Student Senate voted 39-12 on Thursday, to override a veto by Arlington senior Dominic Edwards, student body president, on a bill relating to changes in the Electoral Code. The veto would have restricted student government candidates and campaign workers from posting to their personal social media accounts.

Student government has been quite “popular” recently with the case of McCahill, Hardy v. Kinghorn. I’ll be the first to admit there were mistakes in the interpretation of the governing documents from the Senate Executive Council, but how can the court in good conscience issue such a verdict when their entire operation is in conflict?

The defense continued and ultimately rested its argument Monday evening in the trial of McCahill, Hardy v. Kinghorn. Fair Oaks Ranch junior Alex Oestreich, defense attorney for Katy junior Lawren Kinghorn, student government internal vice president, called three witnesses: Monahans senior Brantley McDaniel, Houston junior Pearson Brown and senior Jailyn Parnell.
