Frankly, I think judges are weighing in against Mr. Seaga to send their own message that it is time for him to go. It's a case of, 'if you can't appeal to Harry's mind, go for his pocketbook.'
It is not the place of the judiciary to send a political "message." If that's what they're doing, they are dead wrong. I've been thinking about how we Jamaicans use words and put our own unique meaning to them. When I was growing up and people had an argument and one called the other "illiterate," it didn't literally mean the person to which the insult was aimed couldn't read. It meant he/she was ignorant, uncouth, or an owl eediat.
To sue someone for such an insult seems rather petty. For the Court to not throw out such a case is surprising. When I first heard of the case, I thought Seaga had accused Skeng D of some wrongdoing or act of moral turpitude, not a type of Jamaican-style name calling that's used every day. One has to wonder why.
