Jesus Mary and Joseph. Does this man even know what it means to have a person's criminal records expunged? That is a **judicial** decision, not the Executive's decision. This man has just announced that his government will break the constitution, will usurp the judiciary and then take its place in criminal and/or civil proceedings. This man is sick and dangerous to this country. If he knows what he is saying he is dangerous. If he doesn't know he is even more dangerous - and all for family, friends and others the FNM has announced it will violate Supreme Law and the foundation of our democracy - which is separation of powers. So I hope everyone else in this country with a criminal record lines up to have their records expunged - since there is no law that enables such a thing to take place before the courts and hence no criteria for the judiciary to determine one's eligibility in such an application.

> “Why have they not been brought any charges against the police who was kicking one of the defendants while on the ground? That is overt police brutality. So are they not bringing charges against that particular inspector because he’s PLP general for a member of Parliament for the east? Let’s be fair. Bring charges against him and see how many will come out and support that situation,” Dr Minnis said.

This is absolutely unheard of to be done by the Leader of the Opposition in this country. Not only should he know how such matters are handled by the Force, but to come out and make a politicized statement like this about a ranking police officer actually gives that officer certain constitutional recourse should he choose to take it. Whether police brutality in fact occurred is for the legislated authorities to determine, not the Leader of Opposition going off what he heard or thinks he saw.

Minnis. What is the family relationship between one of the men charged and your female Senator? And what is the relationship between you and one of the other men charged? This country isn't going to the dogs, it is squarely in the dog's pen.

Ah well, Minnis has opened his mouth to change feet again. Does he actually smell the stuff he's shoveling?
This statement shows that at the heart of the matter they have no more regard for the rule of law than the scumbags they're trying to depose.

Precisely. And what he also seems not to understand is that to have your records expunged does not mean your conviction has been overturned - which again only the courts can do.

Why did you think that? Were you reading all my posts about him backward and upside down? There isn't a word I have ever uttered here or elsewhere that has ever been in support of the moron.

Not a problem

another just impossibly stupid remark by a politician. The law is above politics. you cant "expunge" a conviction unless you change the law.

Every time Minnis opens his mouth, he only confirms the reason he should never be a leader of anything -- even an arts and crafts party!

And is he saying that the FNM would circumvent the judicial department? Isn't that why V. Alfred Gray got into so much hot water -- and that Minnis himself demanded that he resign? Mr. Minnis, spouting this rhetoric makes you no better than the PLP. Shame on you!

Dr. Minnis, I implore you... please hold a convention by June 2016. At this rate the FNM looking as bad as the PLP

Another banana skin for Minnis. What a stupid comment to make. He has no political awareness. Could you imagine Hubert Ingraham coming out with a statement like this? Minnis needs to be replaced in November for the sake of the country.

Not sure why you re-posted your original post that I replied to, but I think all right-thinking people can see who these guys really are, even if some of us with party loyalties may be unwilling to openly admit to it.

Now many are beginning to understand why I have been so steadfast over the years in my opposition to Minnis ever becoming PM of our country. Numerous past supporters of the FNM are even prepared to vote for the PLP candidate in their constituency in the next general election if that is what it will take to stop Minnis from ever becoming PM. The FNM party is already being starved of financial resources that it so desperately needs, but many Bahamians are fearful this alone may not be enough to keep Minnis from becoming PM. If need be, many past supporters of the FNM will vote PLP (and stomach Christie as by far the lesser of two evils) if that is what it will take to protect our country from Minnis.

So they say Minnis is s successful doctor and a businessman. Perhaps that is so, but does this alone qualify him to be Leader of The FNM and Prime Minister?

Dr. Ben Carson is a world renowned brain surgeon and a successful businessman. Minnis is a light weight compared to him! Dr. Carson was a pathetic GOP candidate.

He and Minnis both suffer from acataphasia.

For the sake of Country and Party, give it up Minnis!
