بدايتاً مجلس الاعيان غيرشرعي وينتقص الشرعيه الدستوريه والقانونيه…وعبد الهادي المجالي وهوا أحد أعضاء هذا المجلس الغير منتخب أي ان عضويته أتت عن طريق التزكيه والتعين من قبل الملك وطبعاً كلنا نعرف ما وضيفة هذا المجلس المنتقى …حيث يكون الملك هوا الواحد الاوحد لتمرير سياسته الداخليه ان كانت أقتصاديه أو سياسته الخارجيه.. يجب التخلص من هذا المجلس الفاسد والمفسد بأي شكل من الاشكال

It’s interesting how people are quick to comment on the situation, but don’t really get loud against it. A few fearful/unreasonable people make a baseless claim and an entire country goes into a downward spiral that sets us back at a time when everybody should be focused on fixing and collaborating and looking beyond the trivial so that we move forward in a way that benefits all.

Clearly the Lower House have nothing better to do and are bored/freed up to take on such ridiculous actions. That’s what happens when the wrong people are in the wrong seat and decide that their job is to distract from the pressing issues that must be resolved because they know they can’t do anything else since they never really earned that seat. What’s even more outrageous is the quiet on the other end! Lawyers should firmly say there’s no case and should refuse to acknowledge it. Officials and MPs who are a voice of reason should speak up and get in the face of nonsense.

Maybe the Lower House just lost the memo.

I didn’t vote. Still not my parliament!

“But since even members of parliament here get elected through a generally-corrupted process, there is generally no worry about the fallback of going after the people you represent. You can even throw blunt objects at them.”
I also know of when getting irritated, they actually bite off ears (or at least parts of em), too.

That’s what happens when you have rigged elections that produce a rigged parliament. it’s a Banana Parliament not a Jordanian Parliament.
