I think Basil won the case for us👏👏 and handed the APNU AFC the lost...thank you! thank you!

If reading other people's  mind makes you sleep good at night, good for you. 

Does that represent a Guyana  the PPP wants to build ? Why are you so sarcastic ?

I'm amused by how people evaluate the lawyers.  I have been around countless lawyers and have listened to numerous presentations in different legal proceedings.  First thing to bear in mind is that most of a lawyer's case is in the written materials submitted .  Second, the oral presentations are by design and necessity slow paced because a number of people have to follow what is being said and the constant references to cases is because that is the the essence of the common law.  

That girl family own the oldest law firm in Guyana.

That doesn't mean a thing in terms of rating the presentations.    I think the oldest law firm in Guyana is Cameron and Shepherd.  How is she related to Ralph?  She should ask Ralph if what I wrote isn't true.

Not really. Even if the CCJ rules in the PPP/C's favor that Sanctimonious Gangster Granger and his Harmonite strongmen will not step down. Some observers believe the Harmonites will provoke a crisis and Granger will declare a State of Emergency. But I do hope that better sense prevails and that Granger accepts peacefully a pro-PPP/C ruling by the CCJ.

My sense is that Afros will take to the streets, widespread protests, CARICOM intervention, and calls for new elections.

Very good arguments made on both sides.

Impressed with Mr. Reginald Armour, S.C.!

Mr. Basil Williams also came through. Good day for both sides. It really is a tough case and decision. 

Indeed, indeed, indeed -- very good presentations by all sides.

PPP/C presenters were more focused on the issues, laws and the poignant point of Article 177 (2) (b) relative to "more votes are cast" and that of the Guyana Appeal Court ruling for “more valid votes are cast”.

I am very sceptical about this. The longer it takes for the CCJ to make an announcement, the better scenario it would look for the PNC.

If the CCJ is taking so long to decide on the jurisdiction to hear the case, how long will they take to hear it and make a decision?

Most interesting was addressing article 177(4). I have never seen someone with more hoof and mouth disease. I have said this here and was questioned by Justice Saunders: the election is not over and one cannot address this article because no president was sworn in. Our resident green dress, (plantain chips and cook up rice expert) legal interpreter was giving me holy sh*t about it. Justice Saunders settled this issue.

As a kane kutta, me could ah do betta dan Comrade Basil Dunce. He was very embarrassing to the Guyanese people. Wonder where he got his law diploma from? Reginald was confused also. Even Timothy Jonas was brilliant compared to the Dunce.

Harmon is an American citizen and he holds a position in the de facto Granjah government. Did they not submit a petition to the US government through their lobbying firm saying Granger was an American citizen? I think there is a future for Jonas to hold office in a PPP led administration, if he is so desirous of doing so.

That's your view ,every Lawyer representing parties presented their submission to the CCJ ,there was no contest between Lawyers.

Harmon (as claimed ) give up US Citizenship .David Granger is not US Citizen.

What Office Jonas will hold in government as a British Citizen ?

On the dossier from their lobbying firm, they claimed he was a US citizen. It was later removed. As for Harmon, like the rest of them, we will see. I don't believe a word these fraudsters say. They believe their own lies.

Perhaps their supporters will say the same about the Opposition.

Two way street bhai.

There were questions around whether the same votes cast that are used to elect a President is used to elect a national assembly. The answer is YES. I believe this question was asked to circumvent 177(4)'s exclusive jurisdiction of the COA, thereby providing CCJ to have jurisdiction to hear the matter.

There were also questions around whether there was a President elected for there to be application of 177(4). The fact remains that there is still one President duly elected into office and that remains in office. On this basis it could be argued that 177(4) does apply, and that Ms. David's matter was filed in the appropriate court and therefore, CCJ has no jurisdiction. President Granger was technically not a presidential "candidate" but a elected President who sought re-election. 

And I also learned that according to some arguments, an election petition can be filed once candidates were nominated, not necessarily when GECOM declares. In other words, there technically does not have to be a declaration made for a petition to be filed.

Brilliant judges and attorneys all around.

This question was debated and was rejected. The argument that if 177(4) could be used even before an election was held. The PNC lawyer was confused. The word president was emphasized and no president was elected during this process.

Article 177 is Voting for a President of Guyana,no Court out of the Country have any Jurisdiction to hear any matter that arises,only the Appeal Court of Guyana.

The CCJ questions are trampling on the Constitution of Guyana ,regarding electing a Head of State.

Interesting. First time I heard of this. Is there any documentation? However, that was not the court case. It was whether the CoA has the authority to hear the case.

Read the Constitution of Guyana ,Article 177 was posted on a thread. Guyana Constitution is different than any in the Caribbean. Sanders was making mockery when he asked if there is still president in Guyana.

He is the umpire. He calls the balls and strikes. He calls it as he sees it. He does not call the pitch before it is delivered. He waits until the pitch has cleared the plate. Be nice to him.

He should look after the matters in Belize.

Basil Williams the Senior Counsel and Guyana AG was given 30 mins for his presentation, this fella use less than 10 mins claiming " massive fraud" it was obvious Saunders was upset with him. Basil the Willie trying to pull something stupid in front of the CCJ judges?

True - no NEW President was elected but A President was running for re-election.

Like I said, this can be argued both ways. 

I see them APNU will say the CCJ was bought out by PPPC.

You can't blame the man for the questioning. That is part of his job. It's his job to cross-examine and allow the Dunce to make his case or be the circus clown. He did the latter.

The PPP did not cause the judges to disrespect Guyana. It was the PNC LAWYERS WHO DISPLAYED IGNORANCE AND WERE EMBARRASSED BY THE JUDGES. BLAME THE PNC. Please don't blame the PPP for the PNC dunce attorneys. They were out of their league. Mendes performed like a genius and Basil and company could not handle the heat.

The COA did not alter the word valid...just extrapolated on the type of vote that would and should be counted as part of "more votes cast".

Nothing to do with PNC LAWYERS, the PPP knows the CCJ don't have Jurisdiction ,they appeal the case trying to get the Judges dictate to the CEO .
