Fighting…justice 

No one should be surprised that Sanction Man’s fighting tooth and nail – and even pulling hair while kicking and screaming!! – to stave off being extradited to the USA. He knows that even though the accommodations in US “detention centres” are positively sumptuous compared to our mediaeval-like gaols, there remains the challenge of unwanted affections and attentions!! He’s already boasted that his delaying tactics will earn him at least another five years here before he gets that extended Florida vacation!!
They say that “when blind man…” – and your Eyewitness ain’t saying that Sanction Man’s blind even though those ever-present dark glasses suggest there might be some optic impairment! – “…seh deh gon pelt you, deh already got brick in deh hand”!! And in this case the bricks are in the form of objections his battery of lawyers will be throwing at the courts!! Remember the initial brick that there wasn’t even a valid extradition treaty between the US and Guyana to begin with??!! Never mind that there were all those previous high-profile extraditions like Datadin from here to the US and Marcus Bisram from the US to here!! Hey!!
In law, the rule lawyers live by is there’s no harm in “tryin’ a t’ing”!! Remember that esteemed member of the bar who tried to save the PNC’s (rigging) blushes by arguing to the courts that 33 ain’t the “majority” of 65?? Who woulda thought!!??! Well, today, Magistrate Judy – no relation to Judge Judy of TV court fame! – will be dealing with Sanction Man’s latest brick – that his constitutional rights are being violated and as such his case has to be handled by the High Court!! In other words, his extradition is ABOVE Magistrate Judy’s pay grade!!
Now bear in mind that the law on extraditions isn’t that Sanction Man gotta be TRIED here for the crimes the US is accusing him of committing. Just that there are the basic elements of such a case – that is, a “prima facie case” – here, for such a trial in the US!! And as such, a determination is well within the competence of our Magistracy in general – and our Principal Magistrate Judy in particular!! But in a variation of their (rejected) brick that the extradition treaty was invalid, Sanction Man’s shills are shrilly insisting that some LEGISLATIVE changes to our domestic law that enable extradition – the Fugitive Offenders Act – are also invalid for being unconstitutional!! And beyond Magistrate Judy’s competence!!
This, of course, also invokes the limits of the power of the legislature to enact legislation – which is governed by the Constitution!!  The Government’s prosecutorial team has dismissed Sanction Man’s overreach as “frivolous and vexatious”, and it is most likely that Magistrate Judy will do the same today!!
Till another t’ing!!

…(PNC’s) extinction
Another thing that hasn’t surprised your Eyewitness – and shouldn’t surprise you, Dear Reader – is the PNC flailing around like a man fighting off a swarm of marabuntas as they deal with their shameful decimation at the hands of Sanction Man’s WIN. And yes…it WAS shameful even though – as they’re bitching – the hands were handing out money!! Hey!! All is fair in love and war – and politics is war by other means, innit?? So here it was: the PNC called for a gathering of the faithful at their trademark Square of the Revolution to protest for the Christmas Cash Grant – which they insisted was their “entitlement”!!
Well, remember the old saying about throwing a party and nobody coming signalling you don’t matter no mo?? That’s what happened to the Cash Grant protest!! If proof was needed on the PNC’s demise – this was the smokin’ gun!! Your Eyewitness ain’t even sure the twelve disciples Aubrey sent to parliament were there!!
Oh, how the mighty has fallen!!

…for recognition
Drumming up support for the Cash Grant Protest, Chicken Man sashays down a curved staircase, looking like Scarlett O’Hara in “Gone with the Wind”.
And folks imitated Rhett Butler’s “Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn!!”
