I now fully understand why why Gabby failed his exams and had to be pushed through by his cousin via a lecturer who does not lecture in the subject in which he failed.
Gabby cannot simply understand that that THE CONSTITUTION IS AND WILL REMAIN THE SUPREME LAW of the land and that any law that contradicts the constitution is unconstitutional and therefore void.
The LI which say there should be no appeal in the case of electoral disputes is against the constitution that empowers Judges to hear reviews.
Gabby get this in your coconut.

If two pieces of law contradict each other, there are specific rules for deciding which prevails. The judges were right. Gabby ought to go back to school and devote time to study in humility.

Gabby, you appear to be very angry about this ruling and it come across your article. Unlike you, I am not a lawyer let alone constitutional law but that does not mean that I am completely naive on such matters. One thing I know for certain is that, in every democracy, the Constitution is always supreme. This means any legislation or regulation, be it primary or secondary legislation, Executive, Constitutional, Legislative or Statutory Instrument that contravenes the Constitution could be or must be ruled unconstitutional if it is challenged before the Supreme Court for interpretation. Therefore the Supreme Court may be right in their judgement.

However, it will be disturbing if the Executive was behind the application to the Supreme Court. I say so because the Executive cannot support a Constitutional Instrument and later turn round to challenge it at the Supreme Court. That does not make sense to me.

I am also not sure if you are angry because there is the indication that only an Executive (Presidential) Instrument can order the judiciary to work on public holidays. Just take out the current president and assume that any president in office could make that Executive Instrument, including Nana Akufo Addo, if his petition is successful. Would that make it right?

In my view, even an Executive Instrument cannot and must not contravene the Supreme Law of the land. Unless, there is a national emergency or a threat to the security of the state, it would be unconstitutional for an Executive Instrument to order the judiciary to work on public holidays. If Ghana wants the judiciary to work on public holidays, the Constitution should be amended or it should be done through primary legislation and not through any Instrument.

Perhaps, the Justices do not fancy working on public holidays when the rest of the nation would be enjoying. May be the ruling is to protect their rights to a public holiday as citizens, so it's not about pandering or 'kowtowting' to the Executive but safeguarding their own interest.

Gabby, cool down and do not take on the Justices yet because you have an ongoing battle at the same Supreme Court. Whether this ruling is right or wrong, only time will tell.

A priest was driving along and saw a nun on the side of the road. He stopped and offered her a lift which she accepted. She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to open and reveal a lovely leg. The priest had a look and nearly had an accident.

After controlling the car, he stealthfully slid his hand up her leg. The nun looked at him and immediately said, "Father, remember psalm 129?"

The priest was flustered and apologized profusely. He forced himself to remove his hand. However, he was unable to remove his eyes from her leg.

Further on while changing gear, he let his hand slide up her leg again. The nun once again Said, "Father, remember psalm 129?" Once again the priest apologized. "Sorry sister, but the flesh is weak."

Arriving at the convent, the nun got out, gave him a meaningful glance, and went on her way.

On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to retrieve a bible and looked up psalm 129. It Said, "Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory."

I am outraged at the postures being taken by Gabby in recent times. How on earth can he expect the Supreme Court to allow such obvious uncosntitutionality of CI 74 to go on. Is it that his folks were so sure of winning the instant election petition and that this possibility of reveiw will scuttle it. Please let Gabby be told that the issues of persons like Aung San Suu Kyi calling for the judiciary, as an institution, to be “strengthened and released from political interference has nothing to do with the present Ghanaian case. What I have noticed about these NPP apologists is to intimidate everybody and make everyone tow their line of thinking no matter how wrong they are. Just look at how they intimidated Justice Atuguba for the simple reason that his nephew was working with the Presidency. Please they should give us a break.

I guess he also has his certificate missing. Why schew the issue to suit your interest? Does Gabby think he is writing for his bush boboons to read or what? In 2008, NPP lost the election and quickly conived with the Chief Justice ,convened a Kangaroo court on a Public holiday to subvert the will of Ghanaians.You envisaged the same tactics in 2012 elections and succeeded in enacting CIs that favour your schemes. What do these idiots actually take Ghanaians for? You think we all come from your village and that everyone is as ignorant as your people. Ghosh!!!this is annoying. Annoying for bushmen to assume a kind of complex they are not worth. The Supreme Court was rather rational in their decision "Constitutional Instruments, on the other hand, draw their powers directly and exclusively from the Constitution. In effect, they have only one check on them, that they must not contravene the Constitution and that they must be so expressly directed by the Constitution." This fool expect the Supreme court to contravene what was clearly spelt in the constitution. In any case does Gabby know better than the judges?

Meanwhile, a precedence in the British Legal Sustem does not necessarily have to emulated in ours. We do not have to assume all that is British must be a blue-print for our Legal System. Gabby must understand that the authority emanating from an Aristocrat is not the same as one that a Republic's Constitution confers on the Executive. In principle, it is easier to legally challenge a Monarch's ruling than that of a Constitution-derived mandate by an elected President of a Republic.

I am not a Lawyer but I can discern the difference in the legal seams that one might attempt to sever in both cases. Don't mislead us, Gabby!

The pertinent question here is why did Parliament did lazy legislating? Nothing that is inconsistent with the Constitution must exist. Is Act 601 inconsistent with the Constitution? If not anything inconsistent with Act 601 is also inconsistent with the constitution. Gabby stop comparing incongurous situations. He decieves only himself.Judicial timidity is in his own head.There is dispute over biometric non-verification because of same lazy legislating in CI.75. No CI can stop a Ghanaian from exercising his right to vote when the constitution guarantees the right to vote. When the verfying machine breaks down every vote is legal so long as the person's name is in the biometric register.In Ghana patapaism does not get anyone far.
