    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am sure that the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs must have been very happy when this matter was filed yesterday evening because he armed himself with a loaded gun to come and deal with us. However, that is on a light touch. The most important point is to check whether this matter is actually sub judice within the meaning of Standing Order 80. I would like to give a small history. These are new Standing Orders which we adopted this year. When we were working on the new Standing Orders, we visited many countries and looked at many jurisdictions. I remember that the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs was a Member of this Committee. The matter that gave us sleeplessness nights was Standing Order No.80 on the sub judice rule. Why it bothered us most is that this rule had been used previously to stop Parliament from debating matters for decades."
