Re: Legality of Resolution for restoring Judges
People argue this issue, based on what conclusion they want to reach. Since you are a Musharaf supporter, so you talk about SC giving “cover” to the PCO on November 2nd, and you ignore that the original SC was kinda fired just before that.
Those who oppose Musharaf, argue that since the original action of firing many SC judges on Nov 2nd was illegal (struck down by 7 member bench of SC on the same day), appointment of new judges to SC was irregular and any decision by the SC after that (to give its approval) is irregular as well.
So, its more like discussing whether glass is full or empty. People see it the way they chose to see it. To dumb down such a complex legal issue into a petty “contempt of court” argument is merely a way of insulting the intelligence of people participating in this discussion. This is akin to saying “I don’t have an argument so you should just shut up!” ![]()
How this issue will be resolved i.e. full constitution package or resultion+executive order or whatever remains to be seen. The problem with constitution package is more logistical than anything. It will include many other things, some of which will be unpalatable to some people, it requires 2/3rd majority and after the likely Presidential veto, it will require another 2/3rd vote. So it will take more time. Thats all.
