Sounds like a dog chasing his tail to me.

A nice vacation for the hardworking guys.

They're forgetting another unresolved matter that arose with the 2014 draft Constitution: absence of the Preamble in the draft.

The question posed by some NRC members was whether a preamble is crucial for the draft to be complete and insisted the question be presented to the Constitutional Court for review. 2015-08-30

NRC President Thienchay Kiranandana said "he will consider everything before deciding if he will pass the petition on to the Cabinet who will be responsible for submitting it to the Constitutional Court". When asked if this process will affect the NRC’s schedule to vote to endorse or reject the draft charter, Mr. Thienchay said that will depend on the decision of the Constitutional Court.

As it was, the NRC rejected the draft for various articles it found flawed aside from absence of a preamble. So the issue was never presented to the Constitutional Court and remains unresolved.
