    "content": "Having said that, I take two things from your ruling. One, you talked about the threshold and quoted Article 47 of the Constitution that strengthens democracy in this country. Not anyone else can just wake up one day and say: “Because you said this in this marketplace or funeral, we will get you out of a party or out of PSC or anything else.” The threshold is what will save this country. You can see what is happening in this country, where everybody wants to impeach a governor. This House should stand by the principle of constitutionalism that ensures fair administrative action and that meets a threshold that surpasses the normal talk on the streets. Hon. Speaker, I also want to congratulate you for another thing: raising the bar very high in terms of the ruling. I think you have gone even beyond what a high court judge would pronounce. You have gone beyond that."
