Many are following the breaking story in the United States of America the decision of Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to file articles of impeachment against Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito. Say what you will about the world’s sole super power, it is a country that allows nothing to go unchallenged. There are learnings for Barbados with the long awaited new Constitution stuck in draft.
Another matter of interest is the battle for the presidency between a septuagenarian and an octogenarian, Donald Trump is 78 years old and Joe Biden 81. Obviously Biden should be at home sitting on a recliner sipping cocoa and narrating his memoirs. Instead he, like minority Leader of the Senate Mitch McConnell continue to compromise government by refusing to demit office given poor health.
Unfortunately although Donald Trump was found guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records by US courts, he remains qualified to run for the office of President of the United States of America. The blogmaster does not have the brain capacity to comprehend why the law would allow a convicted citizen to run for the highest office.
The dilemma for voters may come to a case of “Eeny, meeny, miny, moe”.
How does this relate to Barbados? We need to file against a few judges sitting on the Barbados bench. If Barbadians refuse to participate in government, we will end up with political candidates not worthy. Are we there yet?
Standby world!
