Ag Ferguson Tells Gonzaga Students How To Sue A President

... revealed that he took action on that discriminatory statement in January by assembling a commission that included attorneys and lawmakers. “When (Trump) first announced it, he said ‘Muslim ban,’ ” Giuliani said on Fox News. “He called me up, he said, ‘Put a commission together. Show me the right way to do it legally.’ ”. During Friday’s presentation, a student wearing a blue TRUMP sweater asked Ferguson how those statements are relevant in legal proceedings, and if he would have filed suit without them. “Courts are empowered to look behind the document to see the motivation for it,” Ferguson answered. “When courts do that, it’s entirely appropriate to look at statements made by the people who adopted it.”. Even without the president’s incendiary remarks, Ferguson said, the lawsuit could have moved forward on numerous other constitutional and statutory claims. He also shrugged off accusations that ...

So he and Gonzaga President Dr. Thayne Mc Culloh have a “friendly challenge” on their Elite 8 showdown in San Jose. More from Xavier Strategic Communications. If Xavier loses, Fr.

After A Championship Season, Gonzaga Women’s Basketball Looks For More Next Year

... into a positive by Fortier and her assistants, Jordan Green, Stacy Clinesmith and Craig Fortier. “We worked through some internal things that were going on,” Fortier said, without going into details. “I thought we put the players in a positive situation and our players bought in.”. The payoff was a 12-game winning streak that set the tone for the rest of the season, a 26-7 campaign that also saw Fortier named WCC Coach of the Year for the second time in three seasons. Along the way, the Zags showed their grit by going 6-2 in games decided by five points or fewer. However, one season always segues into the next. This week, Fortier is working on recruiting, preparing for national committee obligations and helping her departing players chase their professional dreams. They include forward Kiara Kudron, ...

Still Don't Believe In Gonzaga? You Should

... Tournament. The castaway of San Jose dribbled a few steps, picked up his dribble, freaked out, and called timeout. "We don't have him bring the ball up the floor much," Gonzaga coach Mark Few said. Gonzaga fans, furious about a non-call on guard Nigel Williams-Goss in the open floor a possession earlier, wailed in agony. West Virginia fans roared. It wasn't a pivotal moment in the game. It wasn't even a turnover. But it felt like a sign of some kind: This was West Virginia's game. Turns out, it was Gonzaga's too. "That was just an absolute war," Few said. "Rock fight. However you want to describe it.". If you still needed reasons to believe in Gonzaga - if the 34-1 record and the All-American performers and NBA prospects and deep rotation and every advanced metric hadn't convinced you - perhaps Thursday's 61-58 win can push you over the edge. Because ...

Gonzaga, Oregon Reach Final 4

... Charlie Riedel / Associated Press). CONNECT TWEET LINKEDIN COMMENTEMAILMORE.

Gonzaga Center Karnowski Is Not A Typical Big Man

... delight of his Gonzaga coaches and teammates. The Bulldogs will lean on Karnowski as they chase the program’s first Final Four berth Saturday in San Jose. Gonzaga, seeded No. 1 in the NCAA Tournament West Regional, meets 11 th-seeded Xavier for the right to advance to the national semifinals on April 1. Head coach Mark Few is just happy to have Karnowski, a fifth-year senior from Poland, on the court again. He missed all but five games last season because of a career-threatening back injury, the result of a fall in practice. Karnowski tried everything to avoid surgery — chiropractor, acupuncture, massages — but he ultimately had an operation on Dec. 31, 2015, after developing an infection in the damaged disk. “We weren’t sure he was going to ever play basketball again,” Few said. “We were all just hoping he’d get back to moving and being able to handle general activity in his life. “And for him to be all the way back where he is now is a total miracle. It’s a credit ...
