		<description>I would like to highlight the remark by Senator Brown in the minutes: "I don't think we should look at this appointment again until we know rules for certain." A simple enough request to a governing body that often doesn't know all the rules. Brown suggested this when a motion to reconsider was on the table by Gulley. 

Of course, the Senate rushed right past Brown's suggestion and followed through with Gulley's motion, which, as it turns out, was a direct violation of the Robert's Rules of Order. This turns out to be a moot point since the Senate managed to trump itself in the game of "how bad can we fuck up" by not providing minutes and the entire meeting should be voided, but it is just another example of the Senate acting on emotion and political action instead of process and order. 

But who cares about all those silly sets of rules?</description>
