    "content": "Mr. Attorney-General, it will do the House a lot of good if you counter the assertions by hon. Imanyara that, indeed, the amendments that you are trying to pass are unconstitutional. He cites Article 174(h), among other things. I understand, and I agree with you, that when it comes to the Standing Orders, they are subordinate to the laws and the laws are subordinate to the Constitution. There is a provision in the Standing Orders that directs the Chair to instantly stop any discussion on a matter that in the opinion of the Chair is unconstitutional. That opinion, basically, has to be formed from the arguments that you are all going to engage in, for and against. So, it will do us a lot of good if you show that actually Article 174(h) does not apply in this case, or whatever other authority you intend to use in the Constitution, which you have now; whether it is the Constitution the way it is right now, or it is the transitional process in the whole Constitution that still obtains. Proceed, Attorney-General!"
