As we await for the CNE to approve the procedures for the ratification process of the signatures, the Government continues the process to control everything:
-The National Assembly continues to push for the approval of the new Supreme Court Bill, which would add 10 or 12 Justices to the Court with a simple majority of the assembly. Thus, as if the Court were not already controlled, the Chavismo would have ironclad control.
-Meanwhile the Chavistas continue attempting to change the rules of order in the assembly so that next time they need a law approved expeditiously (A new Central Bank law?), it will happen in a very short time.
-And there are rumors (This is the only country where three Justices can’t keep a decision secret) that the Constitutional Hall will declare that there is no conflict between its activities and those of the Electoral Hall, and that the decision by that Hall is illegal. As we say in Spanish the Constitutional Hall is paying itself and making change for itself at the same time.
Essentially, we all have lost our ability to be amazed or surprised by anything. Whether it is human rights violations, disrespect for the law or abuse of power, we have essentially seen everything as we wait to be abused once again.
