I'm not quite sure why the SBA is bothering with an 'election' as all the candidates seem to be running uncontested. My recommendation is not to vote. What difference can it make?
Let's look at the candidate statements and see what this year's candidates have in store for us...
No, actually, I can't do it. Sorry. I tried. It's so stupid I don't even have the energy to mock them. The cruelest thing you could possibly call an SBA candidate is 'SBA candidate'. Where can I really go from there.
Anyways, Wings & Vodka already nailed it.

SBA or PILP elections? I get them mixed up sometimes. In general, I think it is great that people volunteer their time to make the law school a better place. Unfortunately, the SBA just seems to be a proxy for PILP agitators to harass the overwhelming majority of law students who don't really care what the PILPers have to say. I gave up on PILP when one of them tried to explain why summer interns who work for free for government agencies aren't working in "the public interest." Did anyone catch Andrea's signature block on the bottom of the SBA election e-mail? Not only does it mention her PILP credentials (besides being pretentious, who really gives a shit?) but adds at the bottom, "Practice Organized Resistance & Conscious Acts of Solidarity." And they really wonder why SBA promotes less interest in law students than what the LuValle pizza topping will be on any given day.

BTW how is Andrea's lawsuit against the UC Regents going? That's certainly a "conscious act of solidarity", if you define solidarity as "bullshit litigation benefiting the class of 2006 at the expense of everyone else who comes afterwards, if the result in the Kashmiri case is any guide." But last I heard, she was losing on this important public interest item.
