Antigovernment protesters start back up in Bangkok

[Rich teacher]

How long before they start shooting each other in the chest when they get bored with the band playing? Southern gang warfare in Bangkok.

They're not redshirts.

No, they are criminals & gang members from Surat Thani, & other southern cities, armed with yellow guns & hatred from decades of gang/ tribal warfare.

What on earth does Easter have to do with Thai politics? You do understand that Thailand is primarily Buddhist (with Hindu influences)? I guess not.

You may care to have a look around Bangkok at Christmas, any shopping centre, and see the decorations/Christmas trees, they also observe 3 new years, Foreign,Chinese and Buddhist. I've no doubt that if you looked hard enough, you'd find Easter eggs for sale.....anything for profit!

Newly installed Senator, Jaruvan Maintaka is a Christian.

Any ruling given by the U.S. Supreme Court would be unquestioningly accepted in the United States. Many might disagree with them, of course, and vocally. But the rulings are always adhered to. And so should they here, as well. It is always interesting to see what foreign newspapers say. The Wall Street Journal has written a factual, balanced article. In the event of a ruling that was not adhered to, one's guess is that international attention would perk up very quickly. And opinion would just as quickly coalesce.

The US Supreme Court Justices are appointed by the US president, who is democratically elected.

The current make-up of the Thailand's constitutional court was appointed by the people who came to power after a military coup.

I'm not saying that Yingluck should disobey the ruling, just pointing out that there is a big difference between the two courts.

Yes that's a significant difference. The same holds true for the NACC, other Court appointments, and Senate having Democrat filled positions.

Do note that US President appointments to the US Supreme Court go through a two-step confirmation process in the 100% elected US Senate (unlike only 50% elected in the Thai Senate). First the appointments are referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee composed of select Senators that conducts hearings to determine appointee suitability. A simple majority vote by the Committee decides whether the nomination should go to a full Senate vote with any positive, negative or neutral recommendations. Second a simple majority of the Senate will decide final confirmation of the appointee.

None of thsat is relevant anymore, as the US Surpemes are now as corrupted as the Congress.

The people in DC in the law fields all know that Roberts was bought and paid for by blackmail to agree Obamacare was constitutonal, because as every thinking humanoid knows,

it was not

Maybe they can't win at the ballot Box but in the courts they are 2 an 0 at judicial coups, and this upcoming decision should put them at 3-0!!

WooHoo!

With the courts on our side we cannot lose!

"After Thaksin’s overthrow, two pro-Thaksin premiers were forced out in controversial court rulings, and analysts say Yingluck is likely to meet the same fate."

Go Team Yellow

Fight Team Yellow

Win team Yellow

Go Go Go Judicial Coup YESssssssssssssss

Yes I do, but even the great BUDDHA said there was a superior power and Hindus believe in Lord Indra as the HEAD god. And as most people on this forum come from CHRISTIAN countries the analogies in my comments will be understood; by most but unfortunately not you as you have nothing between your ears it would seem.

False lies being spread again. The rest of us would have deleted your account by now.

How would you know? Have you been down there and interviewed and background checked? Don't tell your farm girl or she may abandon you for treason, being among freedom wanters.
