Why does the unelected Constitutional Court getting involved when a vote of no-confidence by elected Parliament ministers might trigger a new election? 

That would be a better democratic process.

Can't wait to see this Puppetongtarn go. Bring daddy along, please.

Listening to dear daddy and obeying all his BS

How can you have a constitutional court with a totally unelected government could be their next fudge job🤔

By September if not before then she will be gone

this is all way too easy under the military-based Thai constitution.

The Constitutional Court is set to consider a request from the Senate's Blue Party for the PM's removal and suspension next week. If the suspension occurs, Phumitham is expected to serve as caretaker PM.

The unbiased CC that we all know.... right

So, effectively a coup - the Army and the Courts taking over.

The courts are the army's courts (CC and EC) and are in place to protect the elites and their wealth and power. Apart from he who cannot be mentioned the army wields ultimate power here.

Lawfare rules.

Which is why even if the People's Party won the next election overwhelmingly, they would in all likelihood be banned from governing. 

The present constitution needs to be changed to limit the power of the Senate and various 'independent bodies', but to their disgrace Pheu Thai dragged their feet on this, desperate to remain in favour with the authorities.

They really are a very unappealing bunch, the upper levels of PT, the very definition of insincerity.

The Army.

 

Someone once described Pakistan as an army with a country attached to it.

 

The same can be said of Thailand.

Because this is a crisis entirely manufactured by the Army, who "own" the court. They probably realise that they may well not win a vote of no confidence, and that they probably would not win the general election that will follow.

 

So a slow motion "quasi judicial" coup is the way ahead.

Prayut's senate and Prayut's courts. This is why Thailand has an unelected government.
