"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Allow me to also voice my concerns about this decision. At the outset, let us say we are not as a House attacking the Supreme Court, but we are expressing a different opinion from what they rendered. We may not speak as a court, but we speak on behalf of our people who have elected us to represent them here. Therefore, our voice is the voice of the people, while their voice was the voice of the court. I agree with the sentiments expressed by you and others that this is a decision that should not be left to stand in our books. We should move with speed, bring together the Supreme Court Judges, the seven of them, and let them listen to us as lawyers as we urge them to review the decision and set it aside."
