Proponents of "living constitutions" are progressive justices who believe that the meaning of the constitution evolves. No judicial or political puppeteer exists in American judiciary, only judicial oligarchy. How can we be sure that Tonga will be secured from what is happening in America as millions of babies are permitted by Judiciary to be executed through abortion in the name of liberty and personal freedoms? - Senituli Penitani.

Please allow me to respond to Soni Uatas letter, "Mr Cauchi: A captain abandoning ship."Did you really want him to stay and serve at the pleasure of the king, or as an independent prosecutor? How can anyone accomplish anything at all if he is blind folded with mouth taped and his hands are tied behind his back Mr. Uata? You can explain to me but only one type of people that can still perform well in the situation mentioned above . . . puppets. - 'Aisea T. Tu'ikolovatu.

Political problems have escalated to the extent where the independence of the judiciary is called into question and the AG resigning from his post. It is sad that even well qualified expatriates are leaving the Kingdom's shores. I really can't blame them. If our own scholars and well educated people are leaving because they are tired of hitting their heads against the brick wall, then don't expect other qualified expatriates to remain long. - F. Kavaha'apai.

Despite the high praises for Mr. Cauchi by many people, I see his departure as a captain abandoning ship when the seas get too rough. Now he is back in Australia in the comfort of his own home while injustice continues in Tonga's Judiciary. And what of the Ashika victims? They will continue live on with the memories of their loss without any real hope for justice. - Soni Uata.

Whichever system Tonga's transformational government adopts, the independence of a Judiciary Branch is paramount in establishing people's respect and trust in such a government. An Absolute Monarch rules an oligarchy that denies the full democratic benefits of egalitarianism in a society. - Sione Akemeihakau Mokofisi.
