Buchholz Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 (edited) Jatuporn is no longer an MP and won't have parliamentary immunity when it reconvenes on August 1st. Court disqualifies UDD leader Jatuporn as MP http://www.thaivisa....n-of-mp-status/ Unless he is given a cabinet post Makes no difference, he still wouldn't have parliamentary immunity. It's restricted to MP's and Senators. . Edited July 23, 2012 by Buchholz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdnvic Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Lampooning or criticizing the judiciary is illegal in Thailand, and against forum rules. Several posts were removed. Please be careful in your criticisms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valentine Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 "Abhisit would probably sue the victims family for denting the bumper ( I was going to say sue for mental cruelty but he wouldn't shed too many, if any, tears for a red shirt granny under the wheels) " Unless you have your tongue firmly in your cheek this would have to be one of the most idiotic posts I have read.

GentlemanJim Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Abhisit would probably sue the victims family for denting the bumper ( I was going to say sue for mental cruelty but he wouldn't shed too many, if any, tears for a red shirt granny under the wheels) Isn't it about time we had a 'dislike' button on TV?

GentlemanJim Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Red shirts will stage a rally today in front of the Criminal Court, which is due to decide whether to revoke the bail of red-shirt leader Jatuporn Promphan. Will this be the 300,000 to 400,000 Red Shirts that Thida promised would rally earlier this month, but didn't materialize? . Probably not, no, but then theres no need now. Ever heard of hyperbole by the way? I'd hate you to go through life taking everything literally. "See you later" Ah, I see, so are you using hyperbole when you say Abhisit is responsible for the murders of 92 people 2 years ago? Are we to take that literally when you say it, or do we assume you are using hyperbole to gain a particular effect....a lie perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlansford Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 - deleted - In real democracies, persons facing serious criminal charges are not nominated as candidates for election, nor given dodgy party list seats as a reward for their criminal activities and to help them avoid prosecution. There is also the tendency for those facing very serious charges NOT to be granted bail, and those lucky enough to get this privilege are usually smart enough to obey their bail conditions. But that's in a REAL democracy and not here. Real democracies are also notoriously intolerant of people intimidating judges. Real democracies select judges through democratic processes. Looks like democracy is coming to Thailand branch of gov't by branch of gov't... Strikes me that its the same here as the Uk. Which I presume you agree is a democratic country ( which doesn't have a constitution) http://en.m.wikipedi...judge#section_2 So I'm not sure what you are trying to imply. Again sent from my Wellcom A90+ Ah, you presume a lot. The UK is democratic, is it? Of course it is and as you have educated me, the court justices are selected by the PM and the Lord Chancellor, who himself is selected by the PM. As you are also a monarchy, the queen actually appoints them. Being American, I would point out that supreme court justices are selected by the president and confirmed by the senate. Both examples use democratically elected officials for the selection of justices which is not the same as the current situation in Thailand.

Looks like democracy is coming to Thailand branch of gov't by branch of gov't... Really? They are generally *appointed* by the executive, head of state or a commission, actually. yes, really. In constitutional monarchies, the monarch "appoints", or "anoints" if you will, justices selected from the democratically elected representatives of the people. In a republic like the USA, the president selects and the Senate confirms. Who appoints is not a question of democracy in a constitutional monarchy as the king or queen will always appoint the justice. In that form of government, the question regarding a democratic process refers to the selection process. Don't you agree? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siripon Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 [ It's a mistake to compare Thailand's emerging democracy with those of nations that have developed democracy over the centuries. Politicians in Thailand cannot be trusted. Someone like Thaksin would never have been Prime Minister in England, the buying up wholesale of parties(NAP), the hiding of millions of baht in servants' names for years, the 2 million baht in cash in a lunch box for court officials- the list is endless. Thailand has to be protected from people like this. Either the courts, or if that fails, then the army. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
