Yingluck questions Constitutional Court for accepting case against her

[Torkmada]

You show some ignorance here. The senate candidates are not representing political parties and no political party will campaign for 'their' candidates. This also explains why you go on and on about this in a topic which has Ms. Yingluck complaining she corrected a mistake and now the CC is out to get her.

For this country to move forward it should not return backward.

It is you that is (wilfully) ignorant of the facts.

The senate candidates are not apolitical.

Yes, candidates can not come out and openly declare their allegiances but their political leanings are well known by all.

The Nation Group TV even put up a graphic showing that senate election results as

PTP winning 40

DEM winning 16

IND winning 21

And yes, to move forward the nation must go back and correct the errors of the past.

Errors forced on the people by an unelected coup administration.

[Torkmada]

Yingluck is back to the tired Pheu Thai strategy of refusing to refer to the courts except on facebook, and only then to admonish them. You've got to wonder - how did she ever acquire such nerve ? Since when has she ever been qualified to address Constitutional Court judges ? Since when did she think that managing to post some silly comments on facebook qualifies her to question the judgement of Constitutional Court judges ? If she isn't questioning the NACC, she's questioning the Constitutional Court. Maybe she'll just post comments on either on alternate days from now on. The reason, Citizen Yingluck, why the Constitutional Court is taking up this case is because the Supreme Administrative Court deemed the transfer unconstitutional. Savvy ?

I can tell you one thing. Although Thaksin and Pheu Thai are absolutely delighted that Suthep ludicrously got off message and diverted all the attention away from them, the PDRC is beyond excitement every time Yingluck or Pheu Thai go after the judicial process. Every time Pheu Thai does that, they destroy their narrative. Every time they do that, they signal that they are above the judicial process. Every time the UDD says that they will not accept the rulings of the Constitutional Court and the National Anti-Corruption Commission - they brand themselves as being above the law. In two weeks, if Pheu Thai actually follows the UDD lead, and refuses to accept the ruling of the Constitutional Court, it will be a constitutional crisis. Beyond question. And if that happens, not a single person will be talking about Suthep. Not a single person in the international community will be talking about Suthep. They will be talking about the Yingluck administration's defiance of constitutional law. And Surapong will have a dickens of a time convincing the international community that's a peachy state of affairs.

You've completely misread the situation.

The people are already talking about how to fix the courts and prevent such silliness from ever occurring again.

After this coup fails real constitutional reforms will occur in Thailand and the old establishment types will never again be able to exert undue influence without an election victory first.

"Judicial disqualification, also referred to as recusal, refers to the act of abstaining from participation in an official action such as a legal proceeding due to a conflict of interest of the presiding court official or administrative officer.Two sections of Title 28 of the United States Code (the Judicial Code) provide standards for judicial disqualification or recusal. Section 455, captioned "Disqualification of justice, judge, or magistrate judge," provides that a federal judge "shall disqualify himself in any proceeding in which his impartiality might reasonably be questioned." The same section also provides that a judge is disqualified "where he has a personal bias or prejudice concerning a party, or personal knowledge of disputed evidentiary facts concerning the proceeding"

So in the US the Thai Constitutional Court judges would be disqualified. The Thai judiciary's bias is palpable & universally agreed upon. Even the Thai yellow's I know openly talk about the courts being on their side. The only ones that seem to be standing up for the courts' impartiality are a few die-hard loser farangs on TV.

...a few die-hard loser farangs on TV...

But that's exactly how I think of you!

[ramrod711]

Ms Yingluck further pointed out that her premiership had already ended since the dissolution of Parliament and she was only assuming the caretaker role. Therefore, the courts verdict to dismiss her as Prime Minister would be contradictory to the Constitution itself.

The trouble with having no plan and just winging it when situations arise is that there is no consistency, and therefor no sense of truth. The government argues that even as a caretaker they should be allowed to make decisions regarding personnel, loans and finance but says the PM is only a caretaker so she can't be dismissed. I think she better fire the ice cream gang because the message she is sending makes no sense.

TheNation claiming 'political party winning' doesn't make it so. Sure, senators have political leanings BUT they are not part of political parties as candidates. you also forget to complain about the list of qualifications applicable to senators. I think these two gto added:

"(5) not being ascendants, spouse or child of a member of the House of Representatives or a person holding a political position;

(6) not being a member or a person holding any position in a political party, or having been a member or having been holding a position in a political party and his membership has terminated or he vacates office in a political party for a period of not more than five years on the date of applying for candidacy or the date of nomination;"

Now as for going back and correct errors of the past, may I suggest the year Democracy started, even celebrated by the UDD. I mean 1932 of course.

Enough, back to the topic of Ms. Yingluck complaining she corrected a mistake and now the CC might still punish her. Not fair

Am I the only one who doesn't care what would happen in the US, or anywhere else for that matter? Rich Teacher, you are in Thailand, they do all sorts of things that aren't done in the US, including driving on the opposite side of the road.

[Why ask]

There was once a story about a little boy called 'Peter Pan'. He thought he'd grown up and experienced a lot until he met a few children, and brought their dreams alive by learning about himself and real-life experiences.

I wonder if the tale of Peter is applicable to the female sex too?

Next we'll get a detailed comparison of the USA and Thai constitution and why that has any meaning on Ms. Yingluck complaining that she already re-installed that person and people are still out to get her

[Rich teacher]

The Supreme Administrative Court ruled on March 7 that while the prime minister could exercise her judgement in transferring personnel, there must be plausible reasons to justify her decisions. Transfers should be free from bias or political preferences.

​Lol. How about judicial decisions & rulings? The hypocrisy would be humorous if it wasn't so destructive.

Breathtaking naivety.

The fact that 40 candidates aligned with PTP won seats in the recent election put an end to any hope of impeaching Yingluck (they can't achieve the 3/5 votes required). It is why the focus has now swung completely over to the Thawil transfer case (rice scheme corruption case is all but forgotten). With the Thawil case the courts can (corruptly) get rid of Yingluck without any need of assistance from the senate.

Its as anti-democratic as you can get.

The Peoples Constitution of 1997 is the high-water mark for freedom and democracy in Thailand and is the best place to return to to set the country back on the right path to justice and modernity.

Seems you are unfamiliar with the background of Tawil's case. Please do some research.

Very familiar. As I stated this is about yingluck questioning the CC in her perception that they overstepped their mark.

So, was the "CEO" defamation suit successful? Did the employees actually slander the "CEO"?

a·nal·o·gy

əˈnaləjē/

noun

1. 1.

   a comparison between two things, typically on the basis of their structure and for the purpose of explanation or clarification.

So, was the "CEO" defamation suit successful? Did the employees actually slander the "CEO"?

OK. Was yinglucks defamation suit successful. Did Thawil actually slander yingluck.

I was stating an a.nal.o.gy as well. Seems you don't pick up on your own a.nal.o.gy.

No wonder Scamper doesn't reply peoples posts. This is going no where because I have to spell everything out, I am taken out of context, I highlighted you where off topic, but you didn't understand that and the cherry on the cake is I am described what an analogy is when it seems you are the one that can't grasp the same analogy I highlighted when asking you a question.

So again - Was yinglucks defamation suit successful. Did Thawil actually slander yingluck. That was your initial ANALOGY!!!!

Don't change the subject, don't take me out of context, don't pull an illogical fallacy, don't demonize me, don't cherry pick, don't state what something is then show an inability to understand it, don't be condescending in your reply. Simply answer the question.

I will repeat again…Last time OK.

You stated your analogy and asked what would a CEO do. I stated that a defamation suit would be the response.

Was yinglucks defamation suit successful. Did Thawil actually slander yingluck?

Facebook bypasses biased media organisations and provides an outlet for individuals to express themselves when no other medium will give them a voice.

The internet has democratised the dissemination of information and that's a good thing for all those who oppose tyrants.

wow, Ms. Yingluck really spelled it out, didn't she.

The SAC interfered with the government's appointment of staff, not the C.C. The re-instatement of Thawill doesn't change the fact that the SAC ruled his transfer to an inactive Advisor of the PM post illegal.

The rest is equally distorting laws and issues. Just the type of stuff we're seeing more and more on facebook, allegations without real background, without real value.

Curious that you understand all the ramifications of this case but had so much trouble understanding the political sacking of the Police Chief by abhisit - and he didn't even reinstate the Police Chief when told to by the Police Federation that he was the chairman of!

Yes, I can see why Yingluck feels that this is just part of the general double standards applied to anyone who isn't "the right people".

"allegations without real background, without real value" - the sad thing is you actually can't (or more likely, refuse to) see anything wrong with this situation.

You deserve suthep, believe me.

Since when did she think that managing to post some silly comments on facebook qualifies her to question the judgement of Constitutional Court judges ? If she isn't questioning the NACC, she's questioning the Constitutional Court. Maybe she'll just post comments on either on alternate days from now on. The reason, Citizen Yingluck, why the Constitutional Court is taking up this case is because the Supreme Administrative Court deemed the transfer unconstitutional. Savvy ?

I can tell you one thing. Although Thaksin and Pheu Thai are absolutely delighted that Suthep ludicrously got off message and diverted all the attention away from them, the PDRC is beyond excitement every time Yingluck or Pheu Thai go after the judicial process. Every time Pheu Thai does that, they destroy their narrative. Every time they do that, they signal that they are above the judicial process. Every time the UDD says that they will not accept the rulings of the Constitutional Court and the National Anti-Corruption Commission - they brand themselves as being above the law. In two weeks, if Pheu Thai actually follows the UDD lead, and refuses to accept the ruling of the Constitutional Court, it will be a constitutional crisis. Beyond question. And if that happens, not a single person will be talking about Suthep. Not a single person in the international community will be talking about Suthep. They will be talking about the Yingluck administration's defiance of constitutional law. And Surapong will have a dickens of a time convincing the international community that's a peachy state of affairs.

You've completely misread the situation.

The people are already talking about how to fix the courts and prevent such silliness from ever occurring again.

After this coup fails real constitutional reforms will occur in Thailand and the old establishment types will never again be able to exert undue influence without an election victory first.

Actually the Pheu Thai party with it's protest group the UDD talks about fixing, the PDRC wants reforms.

as for coup, which coup, did I miss one?

The coup is coming (don't worry it will fail spectacularly).

After it, the PTP will make the long needed reforms that rescue the people from their historical oppressors.

PDRC is finished, they're all off home to the south for Songkran and shan't return.

(The most face saving way for Suthep to admit defeat)

Thank you for that post I haven't had a good laugh in a long time What ever your smoking it must be good stuff

The Supreme Administrative Court ruled on March 7 that while the prime minister could exercise her judgement in transferring personnel, there must be plausible reasons to justify her decisions. Transfers should be free from bias or political preferences.

​Lol. How about judicial decisions & rulings? The hypocrisy would be humorous if it wasn't so destructive.

So why can't she follow the rules like the dems?

Because she's a Shinawatra and therefore above the law?

They will need to buy the Palm Jumeira at this rate

New York Times:

“It no longer makes sense to attempt to explain the current political situation in Thailand by relying on legal principles,” Verapat Pariyawong, a lawyer and commentator, said in a Facebook posting. “The current situation is more or less a phenomenon of raw politics whereby the rule of law is conveniently stretched and stripped to fit a political goal.”

WOW. Another opinion on FB. Maybe Mark Zuckerberg can be the next Thai PM.

Seems opinions on FB override the law now.

I will denounce that opinion on my FB page now and call that fact.

Facebook bypasses biased media organisations and provides an outlet for individuals to express themselves when no other medium will give them a voice.

The internet has democratised the dissemination of information and that's a good thing for all those who oppose tyrants.

Wonderfull. Couldn't agree more. Now all we have to do is find a way for opinions on FB to become Thai law and yingluck can act with further impunity.

Maybe the senate can all have FB pages and who ever gets the most likes will ensure a law is passed.

Sounds a little bit too much like democracy - the Democrats will never accept it.

There was once a story about a little boy called 'Peter Pan'. He thought he'd grown up and experienced a lot until he met a few children, and brought their dreams alive by learning about himself and real-life experiences.

I wonder if the tale of Peter is applicable to the female sex too?

Did you know that the name Wendy didn't even exist until JM Barrie invented it.

Rather in the way that no one had heard the name Yingluck until Thaksin decided she would be his Prime Minister.
