“Law Lecturer, Ronnie Yearwood highlighted that the Guyana High Court rulings had been all upheld by the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) rather than the Guyana Court of Appeal. “It seems often that the High Court and the Caribbean Court of Justice were on similar wavelengths and similar thoughts and reasoning. It was often the Court of Appeal where the judgement seems to go awry and then the CCJ corrected the Court of Appeal to say actually what the High Court originally ruled as the exclusive court to deal with electoral matters was right so we often saw that happen,” he told a virtual discussion on the topic “The Judiciary and the 2020 Guyana Elections.””
“Senior Political Science Lecturer, Cynthia Barrow-Giles stated categorically that “I don’t want to impute anybody” but she said from the decisions made, Guyana provided a good basis for insisting on the need for separation of powers among the executive, legislative and judicial arms of the State.” <https://demerarawaves.com/2021/10/22/uwi-lecturers-question-independence-of-guyana-court-of-appeal-on-political-election-cases/>
I wonder where these so-called lecturers got their education. Let me give a short lesson on courts. The courts rule. If there is an appeal, it goes to the higher court and so forth. The Final court for Guyana is the CCJ, a political court and not a court of law. Now, these two are probably infallible. There is no such thing as correct judgement. They are only judgements made by courts and it is accepted by some and rejected by others, even in the supreme courts, they are justices that decent. Now, why do you people want to interfere with Guyana’s internal affairs? I would not want to write about how incompetent you both appear to me. Who made you God? How do you know that the CCJ corrected the appellant court? The CCJ made a ruling and that is the final unless Guyana removes them from the position of the final court. Mr. Lawyer, that is how it works. You and your kind have done enough wrong interfering with Guyana’s internal affairs. The decisions of the CCJ in the Guyana elections were made by Pompeo and Lynch. It is/was written in every newspaper what these people expected the results to be. I wonder if anyone in any government of Guyana could dictate to the supreme court of the USA how to rule. Now, you are not ashamed. The election results are very flawed. I do not want to rehash but would you like to have 4% of your poll books missing in your elections?< https://guyanabana.com/?p=366>
I put some information in the following for the enlightenment of these misfits. The following should be read by these people so that they could see how stupid they are. Please note, the high court and the appellant court ruled that the appointment of the chairman of the GECOM was legal. The CCJ ruled against it.
“Is the Supreme Court infallible?
As Justice Robert Jackson put it with eloquence, the Supreme Court is not final because it is infallible; it is infallible because it is final. … Below is a list of those pieces of jurisprudence that just, with all due respect to the Supreme Court, seem not right.”

5 bad decisions of the supreme court.

This is a part of the decision of the supreme court of the USA in the Stanford vs. Dred Scott case.
“The majority held that “a negro, whose ancestors were imported into [the U.S.], and sold as slaves,” whether enslaved or free, could not be an American citizen and therefore did not have the standing to sue in federal court. Because the Court lacked jurisdiction, Taney dismissed the case on procedural grounds.
Taney further held that the Missouri Compromise of 1820 was unconstitutional and foreclosed Congress from freeing slaves within Federal territories. The opinion showed deference to the Missouri courts, which held that moving to a free state did not render Scott emancipated. Finally, Taney ruled that slaves were property under the Fifth Amendment and that any law that would deprive a slave owner of that property was unconstitutional.” <https://www.oyez.org/cases/1850-1900/60us393>
In conclusion, these pseudo-intellectuals are in fact just stupid. They open their mouths and out jumps the nonsense. I repeat “the supreme court is not infallible”. I wonder what are both of you getting for making yourselves look foolish. You are lecturers at a fourth-rate institution and can only write that nonsense in a third-world country. Guess what, the Guyanese people are not stupid. If so, we would not dominate in the CXC and CAPE. Was Justice Taney’s ruling correct because he was on the supreme court and wrote the majority decision?
