shutting up the judges

So the solicitor general thinks it fit to tell the Supreme Court to mind its own business.

It’s a stellar suggestion, no?

Persecution by the powers-that-be is an alien concept in our healthy republic. If only the judiciary would be a little more agreeable.

Most governments are doing such a wonderful job of the administration; the common man is well-fed, well looked after and generally satisfied with things.
So that’s another area the Courts can stay out of.

Corruption is the subject matter of an international index that shouldn’t bother us unduly.
And what can the Judiciary do about it anyway? Bribery is something the babus know best about.

A few farmer suicides and contaminated ground water occasionally bother us all, but that’s not reason enough to precipitate a constitutional crisis, now, is it?

Why are we getting our knickers in a twist?

I think I agree with the bloke.
The Judiciary should take a few more holidays every year.
Let the grand old men go home early, snooze in the afternoon, that sort of thing.
Why get into a bad mood over nothing?
Let the common man fend for himself on issues.
He has his vote, doesn’t he?

The show of strength between the political establishment and the Courts is as serious as issues get. It threatens the foundation of the nation. Irresponsible missives from individuals are dangerous. The law minister did well to promptly disown the comment.
