At least you have some small commonsense in you to apologise. Someone who failed his law school exams and had to use ways and means to graduate cannot insult such established judges

So who is the coward here. I will always think b4 I make any disparaging remark about any group of eminent Ghanaians so as not to hv the unpleasant duty of having to withdraw and apologising.

The Supreme Court judges are TIMID. Let's just pray that they have not already taken huge bribes from the corrupt Mahama and his dirty NDC crooks, just like the stupid old man Afari Djan did.

But it is also slowing progress in the country. The election is over, the new administration must start the peoples' work. Power-greed Akuffo-Addo has halted every progress in the country, why will an investor think of coming and investing in such a political climate, knowning how African politics work?
The ealier the supreme court ramp up the case the better it will be for Ghana!

This man is telling you the truth. How can we call them judges and judges of our Supreme Courts who dont know what their work is. If anyone can overturn the judgement of our supreme court decision, do we really need one. The final people who are suppose to keep our Laws has failed us.
The supreme court told Ghanaians John Mahama was the president and sworn him as our president. Stupidly the very supreme court is saying the decision they made can be challage in the courts again. Supreme Courts dont have appeals.
NPP and Nana Addo are better and clever that our supreme court. Supreme court dont know what they are doing, think about it, our supreme court cant decide because of how corrupted they are, if they were not sure of John Mahama winning the elections why did the swear him in as our president.

The SC was absolutely right in its decision in favour of Mornah.

Below is a response I gave in support of my argument against the CI 78 stipulating that the sitting President can be joined in such an electoral suit as we have now. The same argument and principle apply in the SC reaching its decision. Likewise, Mornah will win the case if he brings the action against the No Verification by Biometric Machine No Vote nonsense!

I wrote then, among other things:

"3. No, the Const. does not grant Parliament any right to make legislation, even if a CI, to contradict it WITHOUT going through the appropriate amendment procedure!

In fact, even Parliament cannot make laws to contradict a previous legislation. See my response to a contributor on Ghanaweb who claims to hold a PhD in law who drew my attention to this principle in an attempt to support a suit against the President, just as you also argued here.
--------------------------------------

I've examined the principle thus referred to by you and found it in support of my stance.

For the sake of other readers, I've quoted a bit of what's out there.

"The rule is generalia specialibus non derogant. The general principle to be applied ... to the construction of acts of Parliament is that a general act is not to be construed to repeal a previous particular act, unless there is some express reference to the previous legislation on the subject, or unless there is a necessary inconsistency in the two acts standing together. And the reason is ... that the legislature having had its attention directed to a special subject, and having observed all the circumstances of the case and provided for them, does not intend by a general enactment afterwards to derogate from its own act when it makes no special mention of its intention so to do...."

Unquote.

In simple English, Parliament cannot even be allowed to pass another law which contradicts or, in practice, repeals a previous special act, unless reference was explicitly made to that special act that it was being amended in such and such manner.

Now, we've an act of Parliament which attempts to amend or contradict with the Const, a far superior body of laws, without specifically referring to the Const'nal clause/s to be so amended, and you are suggesting that the MPs that botched up with the CI 78 might've thought or got in their minds the immunity Article when botching up, and so we should accept that the Const. was amended by a simple majority of incompetent MPs?!

I am sorry, this argument falls flat on its face. Not worth further consideration.
-------------------------------

So, was Parliament, while making the CI which mandated the SC to sit on public holidays to hear an electoral dispute or repeal the right to a review of a SC decsion, mindful of these legal provisions to avoid making another law which contradicts a previous law, or a const'nal provisions? It it were, the SC wouldn't have thrown the CI out, even if only on technical grounds!

I concluded that response thus:

""The President's lawyers haven't entered a plea yet, so we can't conclude that this discussion is a moot one. As we are all agreed, they must go to the SC, even if to make only a case of immunity for the President, which some of us are pushing for. They may decide to show-boat and make mockery of the whole legal system in a bid to show that they are better legal luminaries than the NPP team, since the case itself is clearly incompetent and lacks merit, and so they are sure of winning this time around. That'll be just a political circus in the SC, in line with the frivolous mission the NPP has embarked upon. I hope the Justices of the SC have enough integrity and respect for the posts they occupy and throw all of them out as the clowns that they are!

As a die-hard pro-Nkrumaist, I really don't care for either of them anyway."

Well, the President has since then entered a plea and the circus is on, with lawyer Amekudzi making a recent appearance as a spoiler clown!

This is no surprise. Gabby calls himself a lawyer and then makes serious errors. This stupudity is within that Family. Gabby failed his Law exams and for some reasons was later given a pass through the backdoor. As for his cousin Nana Akufo-Addo, he is a Fake Lawywer without a Law certificate and does not even know where he did his law studies. What a family! Empty barrel Gabby is the best way to describe this guy.

How dare Judge Gadegbe threaten Gabby for exercising his democratic rights. It is the judges who need to exercise decorum and not to personalize any criticism of the court. The judge's response is an admission of guilt and if they are wise, they should revisit the ruling. The highest court of the land does not police itself in the way the judges interpreted C.I.71. Gadegbe's response is most unnecessary.

Akufo Addo, his uncle does not have a certificate. In fact, he does not know the law school he attended.

And as for Gabby himself, a whole professor had to be dismissed from the law school so they could award him a certificate.

So what do you expect?
