That's just silly. So according to that interpretation of the constitution, a caretaker government has in fact, zero authority to do anything?
They are authorised to continue in a minimal role (necessities) only. Minding the shop, basically.
Apart from access to the stock and cash register

Another interesting question is how can an 'appointed' Senator who has been clearly relieved of his/her duties when the parliament was dissolved have standing to petition the CC? Seems like the CC will take a case from just about anyone! Anyone know where the queue is?
I think you're making this up. The senate has not been dissolved.
Secondly, any member of the public can join the "queue"
Thirdly it makes no reference to taking the case to the CC

So now the caretaker government has two pupet masters, The one in dubai and then ............
He said the US State Department has strongly condemned the outlawed activity in Thailand and called on the Thai government to take legal action against offenders.
So now they are taking orders from the USA, <deleted> what a load of BS and lies that guy spouts. Thought they didn't like it when falangs tell them what they should do!
I very much doubt an official of any country would say that

This mean that they will continue performing their duties until the new cabinet is formed. It does not mean that they still have authority to perform duties under the Constitution
How can they perform their duties if they don't have authority to perform their duties?

So who has the authority to restore order in the event of civil disobedience? Only the army? Interesting he didn't say.
Please note that since the trumpeting and fanfare of the state of emergency that not one single thing has changed.
Restore order my @rse

Typical bias yellow judge nonsense.Part of the democratic reforms proposed by both sides should include purging the bias judiciary, EC, "checks and balances" etc and replace them with neutral, objective people.
So, a retired judge airs his opinion and you want to bring down the remaining pillars of society?

I think they might be trying to say that they still have to perform the duties of the ministers (as caretakers) but do not have status as ministers. Since only the PM can call a SOE and she is not PM, only 'filling in' for PM, she can't call one.
But not sure if that is right or makes sense either. Wouldn't all of the other duties be for ministers and PM only also? or are other duties spelled out as for ministers and PM or 'others, as authorized"?

Does the caretaker prime minister have the authority to unilaterally resume being an official prime minister without being sworn in by HM? According to alot of forum members her brother did have that authority, so surely his sister should also? Or was the coup removing an imposter prime minister that had no authority to be in that position?
You've answered your own question at the end.
There was no coup at all - its a malicious ubiquitous red myth

JR Soul your comments to me are blocked so it useless to reply to me because I care less about any remarks you make.
What's the point of being on a forum if you just want to listen to people who agree with you?
The rest of us have to put up with your red shirted babbling in just about every thread on here and filter out repeat after repeat.
Maybe you should pack your tent and head off to darkest Udon where you can attend red shirt school and try your monologue with the toothless old rice farmers over a bottle of lao Khao and some laab kwai

The drafters of the constitution were obviously not logicians. Mind you, a "caretaker" government can continue without the House... mmm... maybe they were
Also, where does the 500 come from, I thought there were 480 MPs - and 95% of that is 456. I may be wrong - have to dash now!!!
My error - yes 500 - was 480 in the constitution text.
A constitution should be written as one would a computer program, ensuring that there are no infinite loops or dilemmas. Amendments serve the purpose of 'debugging' the code, or sometimes clarifying words that have attained a new meaning (possibly due to technology). As there is one important part of the Thai constitution that cannot be discussed, it seems pointless to discuss any of it in great detail. Indeed, the apparent dilemma in the above article is a false dilemma as there is an obvious solution that cannot be discussed.
There is, I think, a more interesting dilemma. The Prime Minister must be an MP, but the Ministers don't have to be. So, if the House of Representatives cannot convene because there are not enough MPs, new by-elections need to take place, but in the meantime the PM is no longer an MP. This seems to leave it open that the PM may have to step down even though the caretaker government is still in place. A decision to replace a PM can be taken by the National Assembly which would then consist of just the Senate. :-) I may be wrong... again ;-)
The PM is a party list candidate.
How can the party list be calculated until the by-elections have taken place?
Interesting

Surely much more likely to be Northern 'insurgent groups' since it is the protestors getting killed....
I keep hearing this, but it seems to me that in recent weeks - as in the past - there are more fatalities on the red side. These people aren't committing suicide.
Your figures are wrong

If the EC lacks the authority to issue the loans to the farmers, who is authorized to do so, now with out risk of sounding stupid, how come this has just been realized , the EC should have advised the caretaker government of this when they first asked, so the question is , who has the authority, would someone put their hand up, clear the accounts and let the PTP pay the farmers what they are entitled to , so who is going to make the call. Christ what a dumb mob of idiots.
That one is simple.
The square faced one, who claims to have single handedly repaid the IMF debt (but actually moved it to the BoT) can pay it himself.
If he needs a few extra baht to do so, then there must be plenty of cronies that have skimmed enough to help the gravy train from derailing

This Constitution was voted in by Referendum, so if anybody wants to make changes to it, it should be done via referendum, again, after the changes have been discussed and voted on, bring it back to the people.
I wonder why the PTP weren't confident of having their amended constitution approved in a referendum (which they had the chance of doing)?? Just what was to be lurking inside it that the people might not like I wonder??
Two things.
Firstly, kurtgruen, the constitution may have been voted in by a referendum (disregarding the conditions under which that happened) but I don't recall the Junta having a referendum before they amended the 1997 constitution - a condition that was imposed on the PTP if they wanted to amend the 2007 Junta constitution. Double Standards?
Secondly, SICHONSTEVE, the Constitution Court told that the PTP had to have a referendum before amending the Constitution OR amend individual sections within parliament, which they attempted to do, until the dems started throwing lawsuits around.
Are we clear now?
Now you're being nonsensical.
The 2007 constitution was changed by referendum thus raising the bar of democracy even higher.
The thought that a bunch of anarchic lesser primates could change the constitution without doing so over a large bunch of bananas defies belief. The protocol has been established
