It's amazing to me they keep going this route when they know how the court is going to rule

Good luck but we all know who runs the court and why it will never happen

General Prayut, just one of a gang of unelected despot corrupt dictators worldwide... North Korea, Myanmar, Kazakhstan, Belarus. Etc....

The constitutional court seems to be taking a back seat on this one...

they are going to be unpopular whichever way it goes.

Government will want a positive outcome for Prayut, they people want him out of office.

If he stays expect students back on the streets.
