OF DOGS'VOMIT AND REPEATED FOLLIES.

"Such a judge ( referring to Lord Denning!) can overly expand or narrow down set legal principles based on his personal ideals. Is that right? To me it is a dangerous trend to follow,” pontificated the Chief Justice.

Damn! Such effrontery from essentially a nonentity and a thick CROSS-EYED dwarf compared to Lord Denning. We have been cursed by suspect CJs. We have one that crossed borders and then tear up certificates! We have judges that climbed rung by rung but now have one that went up there with the help of a simon snorkel.

"Should judges even at the apex court sitting three, five, seven or nine change the law perhaps against the wishes of the voters by interpreting a legislation in a manner not intended by the legislators?"t he CJ asked.

For his sake I produce here again what I posted yesterday:

Heard around the blogs:

You can change the judge but you cannot change the law.

That may be true in US and in a more civilised world. But not in Malaysia.

Here, they change the law and keep the judge(s).

The CJ also said judges therefore have to be particularly cautious in being too eager to follow precedents in common law countries.

ABSOLUTELY! DO WHAT IS WHISPERED INTO MY EARS! THAT PRECEDES ALL PRECEDENCE.

PARTING SHOT

The cross eyed judge looked at the three defendants in the dock and said to the first one, "So how do you plead?"
"Not guilty" said the second defendant.
"I wasn't talking to you" the judge replied.
"I never said a word" the third defendant replied.

EXPECT MORE CROSS-EYED DECISIONS, YAH?
