So you are not for the defense (public or private) of those deemed innocent until proven guilty? Of course it would be the Criminal defense lawyers that would object – much in the same way the prosecution salivates at yet another measure fabricated/created to erode Bermudian rights!I applaud the few and deride the many in this case.

Both are trying to spin, but there is nothing there that suggests Minister Moniz was misleading; he may have exaggerated by saying ‘full support’, but he also stated that the Bar had raised objections. It is ridiculous for Mr. Scott to demand a resignation over this unless he can explain why he didn’t call for Dr. Brown’s resignation over the smuggling of Uighars into Bermuda, in violation of our laws and constitution, or for the resignation of the MP’s involved in the immoral Bermuda Housing Corporations transaction.

The only objecting comments in the Bar’s response were by a SMALL Sub-Commitee(4)! ALL 4 are Criminal Defence lawyers with an obvous vested interest to keep laws slanted in favour of their clients! Don’t be fooled by that few just because they make the most noise! That’s what Criminal Defence lawyers DO!!!

FACT : BERMUDA IS UNDER UTILIZING ALL OF ITS RESOURCES.

All talk and no do,this pace does not operate like a well oiled machine.

There is a long list of sort comings, just to name a few ,the very worst is :-

TIME WASTING.
INEFFICIENCY.
SWINGING THE LEAD;
RED TAPE :

Bermuda need to step up to the plate. Money Management; Debt Management; Land management, buildings management; parks management; Traffic management. Roads management. THE CROW LANE DISASTER.

Accountability and efficiency are meaning less words, it is all going on under your noses,it all boils down to poor management.

EG : Why does it take me all morning to re license my car
at the T.C.D.

Processing our visitors takes for ever.

Paget traffic lights “hold up” what a gross waste of time .

Yes yes here we go again attacking the messenger and failing to comprehend the message. Many fine “interpreters” of the law have come to the conclusion that these amendments constitute a direct violation of our human rights at a constitutional level. This potentially affects us all weather you are on team green or team red. I have not seen anyone on here speak to that point. By not speaking to it I am compelled to believe you support the measures and are therefore in support of this attempt at tyranny as well.

Is anyone else bored of politicans starting their fight with their opponent with the statement that they should resign? Politicians need to start working for the greater good of Bermuda.

@Sad – understanding what you read is the key! Moniz probably threw those words in knowing the key words “Full Support” would do the trick! In my opinion! This reminds me of the Pied Piper!

@Raymond Ray Stop it…..u are blindfaithfulness OBAER and would support whatever the OBA position is right or wrong…..take sometime to examine the Facts carefully……please…

I suggest you go back and carefully re-read the details and plot out the facts carefully. It will be come a little bit clearer in your fuzziness that MP Moniz is fighting for his life on this issue. ……it is clear that he was mis-leading the house and now is cherry picking to spin himself out of it.

OBA’S PR team are working hard twisting facts. …..it was clear the Bar Association did not agree if they did why go on TV Monday night and hold a show with the support of the Center for Justice……it was spelled out clearly on that show by the lawyers themselves. The Legal Minds indicated they were not in agreement. ….of thus Bill in full

The OBA knows it’s wrong, thus the delay of bringing the bill to the Senate for debate and approval. The OBA stopped the Bill due to the the Legal Community concerns and the fact they were clearly not in agreement with it. …..really….

….please stop the OBA Spin……More importantly DO NOT ALLOW THE SENATE TO PASS THIS wrong BILL. …which takes away folks human rights……

This is a Real Human Rights issue

That which was mentioned in the audio was, “a selected statement” In other words, an incomplete statement which had been made by the Attorney General Trevor Moniz. Take time out to read the full / complete response made by the A.G. Trevor Moniz…
Whoever you are,”Need Peace” you’re barking up the wrong tree, and yes, “we need peace.”

Guess you don’t know how to read either.

As he said the bar supports the much needed reform and then acknowledges the objections in the bar letter.

It is right above in black and white for you and in the Hansard. No spin needed.

Reading is key my friend.

Apparently none of you bloggers bothered to listen to the audio. It is even transcribed! Nothing is taken out of context. Minister Moniz is trying to put a spin on it. Must be the lawyer in him!

Shadow Minister Michael Scott Sir, as you can attest to, I’ve known you for several decades, as a matter of fact since you’d started working along with the late, (Attorney) Julian Hall out of the offices he had in the Emporium Building.
Over several decades I have always held you on the highest esteem; one can say, “you being a just individual” Yet this latest charade, it’s out of character and unacceptable. Please, cease being influenced by others and do what’s right and stop attempting to “hoodwink” them that know better…

Yeah see the PLP are engaged in twisting the words of the OBA. You’d think it was Michael Weeks making this statement against the OBA.

Scott , you just justified why you need to leave.

Moniz has independent evidence of what was said and you are guilty of your own accusation and therefore should level your prescribed recourse on yourself.

Goodbye Scott.

Please ensure you make a public statement apologizing to Moniz. It’s the honourable and polite thing to do.

I see the OBA govt are finally fighting back with a reasoned strong defense. Like many, I am very pleased to see this change of tact. The accusations although groundless, unless challenged, can take root and distract from more important matters.

The plp now want, Comprensive Immigration Reform, Comprehensive Health Care Reform and Comprehensive Legal Reform. They had there chance to dictate the agenda when in power. Somehow these issues were not high enough in their agenda to make it to the top. To twist people’s words and ask for resignations gets the plp nowhere on this issue.
