In the land of Parliaments, the Chief Justice became the "Sun God"

"The war against terrorism can be stopped by the Parliament of the Chief Justice. It can even order the Parliament of the President to sign a ceasefire immediately with Prabhakaran."

(December 19, Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian) Sri Lanka is twice blessed. It has two Parliaments, one of the President and the other of the Chief Justice. The Parliament of the Chief Justice is by far the more powerful. It has no Parliamentarians, and controls the Parliament of the President, making him a people's lame duck President. The Parliament of the Chief Justice cannot be controlled even if its decisions are not always beneficial.

For instance the order to lift all road blocks in Colombo , allowed the terrorists to bring loads of bombs and suicide jackets from the North to South unchecked, how much of war like material had been transported from Colombo to the terrorists is unknown.

The Parliament of the President may make legislation to meet an urgent situation, like "hedging", without provisions in case of the situation getting better or favourable. The Parliament of the Chief Justice may rectify it sacking the Minster, on the spot, and ordering the President to take over Ministry.

The Parliament of the Chief Justice has no end to its powers. It can raise the price of any commodity or lower the price of any commodity. The Parliament of the People's lame duck President cannot even discuss the decision of the Parliament of the Chief Justice in it.

This new democratic development should be copied by the Western Parliaments.

Obama could settle lot of problems, by getting the American Chief Justice have his own Congress. Then there would be Congress of the President Obama, and a Congress of the American Chief Justice. Making Obama a lame duck President, the Congress of the American Chief Justice, may even stop the Iraq and Afghan wars, and call back the soldiers.

It will order the removal of Governor Blagojevich and put him in the Guantanamo Prison, and appoint Jessie Jackson Jr. the Senator of Illinois .

There is no limit to the power of the Parliament of a Chief Justice. It may after having made the people's President a lame duck President, even decide to terminate the services of the President, and dissolve the Parliament. The advantage of the Parliament of Chief Justice is that it is above the people, for the people, but not of the people.

The Trade Unions will not be able to organise strikes, or manifestations. The Leaders of the Trade Unions would be arrested for contempt of court. It may even make the Opposition leader also a lame duck President.

The war against terrorism can be stopped by the Parliament of the Chief Justice. It can even order the Parliament of the President to sign a ceasefire immediately with Prabhakaran. The Parliament of the Chief Justice could declare all orders by previous courts to arrest Prabhakaran for criminal charges, ultra vires .

The Parliament of the Chief Justice can order to accept LTTE as a democratic political party, and declare a unilateral order to set up a Parliament of the Tamil Eelam and declare Prabhakaran its lame duck President.

Sri Lanka will then have three Parliaments with three lame duck Presidents. The Parliament of the President, the Parliament of the Chief Justice, and the Parliament of Prabhakaran. But Prabhakaran who is now the Sun God cannot retain the title once he is made the lame duck President of the LTTE Parliament. Therefore the Parliament of the Chief Justice may confiscate the title and take it for himself.

Thus the Chief Justice becomes the "Sun God" - Sri Lanka Guardian
