UC Davis Divestment Resolution Overturned

Another blow for BSemite campus parade. This time, a resolution calling for divestment from Israel was that was accepted in UC Davis Student Senate, was overturned by the Student Judicial Council. The judicial council determined that the resolution was clearly political, and thus was not in the jurisdiction of the senate.  See this report from legalinsurrection.com:

UC Davis 'non-political' senate
Anti-Israel divestment resolutions have had success in the U. California system this semester, including the bizarre and seriously mocked decision of the university-wide student council to divest not only from some companies doing business in Israel, but also from the U.S. government. 
None of these resolutions are binding, but they are an important part of the War on Israel on campuses, in which anti-Israel groups seek to hijack every possible forum and to make everything about hating Israel. 
One of the most controversial resolution sessions took place at the UC-Davis Student Senate, which passed a divestment resolution. 
In a stunning development, on Thursday morning, the student Court issued its decision that the divestment resolution violated the UC-Davis student government’s Constitution, since was primarily a policital document, and did not involve student welfare.
