Jatuporn calls ruling 'deceptive'

Online news:

Red-shirt co-leader Jatuporn Prompan has branded the Constitution Court’s call for a public referendum if the government wants to draft a new constitution as "lab luang prang" (secrets, lies and masquerade).

However, he said the red shirts could claim a unilateral victory in light of the court's dismissal of claims that the Pheu Thai government was trying to overthrow the current system of government.Mr Jatuporn said he saw Friday's ruling as "secretive and deceptive", likening it to an injection of anaesthetic that would delay parliament from going ahead with passage of the amendment bill on its third reading.This was because the 2007 charter’s organic law on conducting a referendum said the process must take at least 90-120 days, he said. The term "lab luang prang" has been used as the title of a popular non-fiction book series by the Bangkok Post’s military affairs reporter Wassana Nanuam.The red-shirt leader said he did not see any provision in the charter that prohibits writing a whole new constitution. He claimed the charter court judges had interfered with the government’s legislative authority given by the people when they ruled that the Constitution Court had the authority to accept the...

Spiceman. I am sure you will agre that the 2007 constitution was unfairly written and the referendum was a sham because of the manner it was being conducted.

As for CC, I am sure you know they were elected by the coup makers and that they have made many unfair rulings such as impeaching Samak, dissolving PPP but refusing to dissolve Dems due to technicalities. They are therefore not credible and impartial.

As for your fellow anti thaksin posters, I will like share that nobody outside thailand consider him a criminal, a convict or a fugitive as he was facing a court appointed by the coup leaders. Is this in your opinion fair?

ANDRE D17: "Do you believe that any law to whitwwash a criminal is fair and acceptable??."

No, and that is why I am against the reconciliation plan.

I do not want to see the generals, AV and Suthep, among others, whitewashed...

BANMEBKK D21: "...Still waiting for all the evidence he claims to have, who shot the protesters".

But we know nobody shot the protestors. After all, SUTHEP told us:

"The people ran into the bullets".

We also know who killed Seh Daen, because SUTHEP told us that too:

"Jatuporn had Seh Daen assassinated to make the military look bad. I just don't have the proof".

I do not see what the problem. SUTHEP has explained everything in a few simple phrases. What could anyone possibly add!

Ironic words by Jatuporn. It seems like many of his speeches and promises are quite deceptive. Still waiting for all the evidence he claims to have, who shot the protesters, who burned down central world?

majority Dis 8 says , "I hope that the DEM and its mastermind won't boycott the referendum if called, because they are the ones who asked for it. Otherwise, they will demonstrate again that they are just cowards as usual. Anyway, time is not on their side. So they are desperately trying everything to stop the clock. Really helpless"!

All this from a supporter of the brave man far away who hides behind his little sisters skirt , his other minions political immunities and uses the plight of the poor to prolong his selfserving political agenda , rather than fess up and "face" and defend his own lengthy rapp sheet ?
Not only so cowardly but also , as usual totally RED`iculous ?
Definately not a good example of a leader , in any language !

Khun Dolphin #15, do you know why it requires at least a 3/4-supermajority to amend the US Constitution? Or, is it a good idea to change it after a few elections as Democrats and Republicans keep taking turn taking control of the US Govt?
