Motion to Suppress
I lost. No ifs and anymore what-ifs about it. My attempts to supress, derail, and/or mitigate against this policy change didn't really stop it. Such is the workings of any administration. But if you think I'm really bummed, I'm not at all. If anything, part of me feels that we all stand to be a little bit stronger if we go through this.

It's not like I'm going to accept this quietly either. Thus far, I've embarassed (if not frustrated) some of the powers-that-be in order to get them to keep their word. I felt that it was right to hold them true to their statement. This is so we have some success criteria to shoot for. The bottom line is simply so that it doesn't get out of hand. In the end, I'm just trying to defend my people.

I got up in front today and said what I had to say. Sure, I lost. However in all of this, I think I gained the trust of 14 other people. Call it a hunch.
