Thaksin Threatens To Use The People's Force Against The Constitutional Court If It Interferes

[bigbamboo]

Thaksin made a Skype video call to address redshirt demonstrators at Sanam Luang Wednesday night and strongly attacked the courts for being unfair to him

That´s what it´s all about. Me,me,me.

"Me, and my shadow (PM)......"

[whybother]

Thaksin said there are three branches of power - the executive, the legislative and the judiciary and the three branches should be separate. There should also be checks and balances among the three branches.

However, he said the judiciary was violating the power of the executive and legislative branches, and thus damaging the country's credibility and the people's confidence in the system.

he is totally right about that.

the peoples force is the electorate. those who vote for the parliament that put the legislative in power. part of their job is it to pass, amend, and repeal laws.

And it's the job of the judges to rule on those laws. Thaksin wants to make it so the courts can't judge on the laws.

[hellodolly]

can't somebody shoot this pl@nker ? ........... with a BB gun of course (to keep the moderators happy)

Why would a Bloody Big gun keep the moderators happy

Just been 10k miles away from here for 10 days. Never saw the news and when I came back, same political crap by the same politically crooked family, the same fact that I can't change a thing, but for 10 days while I didn't read the news I have been ....happy ! I put the majority of unhappiness and misery in our lives down to the media. Stop reporting this crook and he WILL simply fade away. The concept has been proven with the power of the press. Remember the singer Jay Kay with the band Jamiroquai. After several run ins, where this talented but permanently high singer kept punching journo's, in a brilliant move of protest at his behaviour, all the press decided to boycott him. At leading social events when all the stars would leave a premises, for a time, every occasion Jay Kay walked out the press would stop taking photographs and would all turn their backs on him. No interviews, no flashes, no calling for a pose or a comment. It did not take Jay Kay too long to discover who needed who and he altered his behaviour almost immediately as he knew without the press he was nothing.

Without all the media coverage the Thai's give Thaksin, he is just a wealthy fugitive crook who deserves nothing more than to be given a large white cat and a role in a C class movie remake of Gold Finger. I think a few years back, Yingluck could have made a pretty good Bond girl.

Well I certainly like the idea of no publicity.

But that would not stop him from pulling strings to rule the country. As he is going now in my opinion only the publicity is slowly eroding his popularity with the uneducated supporters he has relied so heavily on.

What a <deleted>

But there is something silly about the fact the a convicted felon on the run can still use the Thai system to his benefit

[ianf]

His puppets keep winning elections, so he can't really be ignored.

'

Never with a majority of the popular vote though, which is why they have been dragging their feet on doing a referendum. They can not win a referendum because unlike an election it would require them getting over 50% of the popular vote, which they can not do. The majority of people do not support wiping away Thaksin's crimes.

The majority of the people either do not understand or do not care about Thaksin's crimes. I don't think 'support' comes into it.

The CC court accepted the petition for consideration.

Thaksin is telling porkies to the people.

Again

[Locationthailand]

While they're changing the constitution why don't change it so criminals abroad can't have any say in the running of the country? I'm sure a lot of people would support that.

what exactly Taksin told the people?

[billoutt]

Scumbag! It's 'unfair' if it's not to your advantage! Threatening another 'peaceful protest'? Peace of crap.

Harken to the head of the Imperial Taksin Dynasty. The Emperor has spoken.

"However, he said the judiciary was violating the power of the executive and legislative branches, and thus damaging the country's credibility and the people's confidence in the system."

Executive = government, legislative = parliament, judiciary = courts.

So, we have a fugitive criminal complaining about the judiciary, while skyping his orders on how he wants his cabinet to run his country and furthermore telling his Pheu Thai MPs what laws to push through?

he seems to be a supporter of parliamentary democracy. not a bad thing in my book.

You do not reply to my post it would seem

He seems to be a supporter of his "I think, they do" political party Pheu Thai where members are under strict order what to do and when. In a democratic way of course. As some have tried to explain to me "they don't have to listen", they can resign at any time I guess and be replaced by others who are more willing to obey.

Very democratic, reminds me of how things are done back in my country of birth or across the Channel

Threatening a government body with "force" in the USA would constitute potential anarchy and place the individuals making such comments on a federal detainment for questioning.

But here we must add one critical factor - the individual making the statements owns the government.

[waza]

Is he also right when he says............

"Thaksin Shinawatra has threatened to use the people's force against the Constitutional Court ...........[and] attacked the courts for being unfair to him and his political party.............a few selfish individuals who are against democracy,[rule of law] file a complaint with the Constitutional Court........and thus damaging the country's credibility and the people's confidence in the system............I would like to beg [Constitutional Court judges] to uphold justice and give priority to national interests, or else I will have to use people's power to deal with the judges, Thaksin said"

However, the fact that a convicted criminal that's on the run from justice, is the leader of the governing political party and speaking on its behalf internationally and nationally isn't.."damaging the country's credibility and the people's confidence in the system" ?

Amazing Thailand, Red democracy in action.

he is basically saying, suspend the rule of law until I have legislated it out of existence or I will evoke mob rule.

[Tatsujin]

It never ends, he'll never stop . . . the farce called "democracy" here continues.

[hellodolly]

And the government of thailand proves how criminal it is by its inaction at bringing a fugitive convicted person to its country to face justice

Well I for one would love to see that happen. but Thaksin does not stay where he can be detained and deported back to Thailand.

Abhist tried to no avail. And to the best of my understanding Interpol can do nothing in a case like this.

Not sure what your version of justice is but I think there are powerful people here who's idea of justice for him would be obtained by the same means Thaksin used to have over 90 people die on 2010.

Thaksin knows that and that is the reason he canceled his visit in Burma right next door to Mai Sai and that is red shirt country.

I think his book is one of the Look Look Dick see Spot run variety.

[drdoom6996]

He's a JAILBIRD! He can't do anything unless they let him do it!!!!! What a bunch of dummy's. No wonder Taksin runs all over them.

[mrtoad]

He'll be splashing the cash for his rent a thugs if he doesn't get his way. Democracy, Thaksin style.

[bangkokrick]

'strongly attacked the courts for being unfair to him and his political party'

How is a fugitive allowed to have a political party??

Spoken like a true Maoist/Stalinist. It's just that some people are more equal than others, and are above any laws they chose to impose on others.

This is a convicted criminal fugitive, with additional outstanding charges, who is inciting paramiltary thugs to threaten a constitutional court whose job it is to see the elected politicians do not put themselves above the law. Treason, sedition and incitment to riot in most countries' laws.

The fact his sister and cousin broke the law in issuing a new passport to him and refuse to discuss or explain it demonstrate how already this administration holds the law in contempt. Clearly, their leader is becoming frustrated by the lack of progress in whitewashing his conviction, outstanding charges and crimes so that he can return to take power.

Anyone who thinks he is interested in democracy or improving the lot of the poor is off their rocker - and no doubt believe Mao, Stalin, Castro and Mugabe etc. were all freedom fighters who led their people to a better life.
