L-argument u l-kritika hija dwar x’qal l-avukat tieghu, li f’dan il-kaz inzerta Hose Herrera, li fil-pozizzjoni li jokkupa fil-PL u x’qed jaspira li jilhaqq, il-moghd kif ipprova jiddefendi lil-klijent tieghu f’dan il-kaz huwa dispregjattiv u tal-misthija, u ma’ tixraq lil ebda avukat li jkun tal-affari tieghu.

Voldieri qed tissuggerixxi li bniedem li jidhol ghal politika jieqaf jahdem ghal kollox? just in case xi darba jsir ministru?

Kien hawn min sar ministru u baqa jaghmel xoghol minn taht tahseb li haddiehor ghandu jieqaf minn QABEL ma jilhaq? Hallina. darb ohra ghid li li kieku kien haddiehor din kienet tkun non issue bhal ma tkun non issue meta jiddefendu kriminali avukati ohra, bhal min jiddefendi lilek wara kollox.

[Daphne – No, I did not say that MPs should stop doing all other work. On their current salary, they can’t do that. But working as a criminal lawyer is in direct conflict with serving as a legislator. That much should be obvious. Really it is any type of law-related work that is in conflict (you shouldn’t make the law that is going to be your stock in trade) but criminal law is by far the worst, because there are social implications too. Pulling teeth and giving Botox injections, as Jeffrey does, is not in conflict with being a legislator.]

The soldiers guarding the death-camps and killing Jews were “only doing their job” too.

Yes, he’s just doing his job. Lowering himself to the same level of the defendant. Another decadent.

Dan liema roundabout hu? Ta’ Hal-Luqa?

[Daphne – Id-dritt ghal difiza m’ghandux jaqsam mal-Unjoni Ewropea. Avukat iehor ma jkunx ministru prospettiv tal-gustizzja.]

Such boorish behaviour would only be condoned by staunch supporters of the LP and that is why Mintoff appealed to the vulgar masses, because he behaved the same way. Mintoff’s legacy lives on.

If Dr Herrera does not respect court formalities, how do we expect him to respect the electorate and the law?

I would like to hear of a worse sexual crime. Being raped by your own father is far worse than a random rape in a dark corner at night. That happens just once and the victim does not see the rapist any more.

But a daughter being raped by her father in her own home, every time she sees her father, she relives the horrible ordeal.

Rape by a stranger is a 15 minutes affair, rape by a family member is a last as long as she shares the same roof with her rapist father.

My oh my , how liberal , modern , progressive u imdawwlin we are becoming.
