Having read some of the cases referred to in the application, I think the Judge is right so far.

In any event, the Constitution is the Supreme Law of the land.

Even Parliament is not entitled to ignore rights granted under the Constitution.

There are many who would like to see MSC in, and the St. Georges out.

Economist says...

Oh wow, so you are saying something that we all know.

You had a great deal of information on the economy and our suffering, which was good.

But instead of castigating the government for incompetent governance of our economy you wined about favoritism and took the subject back to party politics.

So all we heard was Dr. Minnis wining about how the PLP is giving its cronies favours and contracts.

Missed the boat again Doc.

Economist says...

Few made noise because Bahamians are a benign people. Though they don't make noise about the murder rate, or crime, or the corruption.

Indeed, you can force Bahamians to accept poverty.

Replace Minnis as leader, pleeeezzzz.

Economist says...

Bring in some 5 or 10 megawatt portable generators to fill the gap. Next time keep it clean. Anyone who knows anything about fuel knows that it is BEC who is the guilty party.

Dr. blah, blah, blah..

What an idiot. He can take credit for putting the PLP back in power for another 5 years.

We need some opposition and we know the FNM are, with the exception of LBT, a useless opposition.

I am not in LBT's constituency so I will vote DNA in the hopes that they can get a seat or two.

It was a different time and era when our Constitution was drawn. It was based on the constitutions of many new nations created out of British colonies.

Its basis goes back to the late 1950's, before women had the right to vote (1962 for The Bahamas).

The world and The Bahamas, in particular, was still a mans world, the women's lib movement of the 1960's was just baring fruit.

We have since signed up to many international treaties and conventions and the proposed amendments are part of our commitments to those agreements.
