It is gratifying to read that eight former Attorney Generals,appointed in turn from all the political Parties have strongly supported the Blog's call ("Constitutional Amendments out ,out,out.") to vote against these proposed amendments to reduce judges pay and allow members of the Dail and Seanad to play at being judge,jury and executioner.
These are the sort of powers that dictators dream about and would completely erode individual rights to fair procedure,their good name and fair play in general.
Alan Shatter,the Justice Minister,who already stifled debate on the matter ,is reduced to sneering at one Attorney General ,who presided at AIB after his term and presumes to be more knowledgeable than the combined wisdom of the eight.
These men have nothing personal to gain and much to lose from the stance they are taking,including as they do former Fine Gael ,Labour,P.D.and Fianna Fail appointees in their number.
How the present Attorney can stand behind this travesty is astounding.
Power hungry politicians want nothing more than ultimate power to satisfy their super egos.
Don't be a turkey voting for your own extinction.
Vote No and No.
