The 27th Constitutional Amendment just passed in Pakistan is a full-on assault on democracy. By creating a Federal Constitutional Court and handing lifetime immunity to the President and the top 5-star military officers, this amendment cripples accountability. It’s a blatant power grab by the military elite , not reform.... show more

🚨 The 27th Constitutional Amendment in Pakistan and Article 243 resonate strongly with the global transformations witnessed over the past decade. This amendment is not about internal power consolidation; rather, it is fundamentally aimed at the modernization of Pakistan’s military command, control, and structural framework. The purpose is to enhance deterrence against Pakistan’s adversaries and to establish a more robust inter-coordination mechanism across various domains of warfare.

Not a single benefit of the 27th amendment’s ‘federal constitutional court’ withstands scrutiny. And if there were any doubt, the ongoing destruction of the judiciary that’s followed the 26th amendment is proof enough.

Pakistan has a unique way of respecting the will of its people, by jailing a PM, by banning the ruling political party & by letting its armed forces engineer a constitutional coup through the 27th amendment & giving life-time immunity to its Chief of Defence Forces: India

The world is watching and expressing its concern as Pakistan becomes isolated from the civilized world and drifts toward a constitutional dictatorship under General Asim Munir. UN High Commissioner Volker Türk said the 27th Constitutional Amendment, undermines judicial independence, military accountability, and rule of law. “These changes risk subjugating the judiciary to political interference. I am concerned that these amendments risk far-reaching consequences for the principles of democracy and rule of law which the Pakistani people hold dear.” #AsimLaw

If the 27th Constitutional Amendment is tabled today, God willing, it will pass. Sadly, the opposition made noise without reading the bill. The Pakistan Army’s Wana operation rescuing 500+ students is a historic feat to be taught in military academies. Pakistan has defeated a much larger enemy, proxies hold no value.

The DSA wants to abolish the Senate and make the Supreme Court answer to Congress. That is not democracy. It is a politburo. And when the politburo controls the Court, your constitutional rights disappear. Free speech. Religious liberty. The Second Amendment. All out the window.

My speech in Parliament today on the 27th Constitutional Amendment buried the false propaganda that PPP has rolled back the 18th Amendment. In fact, PPP protected the district judiciary by rejecting the proposal to restore the judicial magistracy system.

Women's Quota Amendment fails This is possibly the first time in the history of the Indian Parliament that a government, with a full majority, consciously secured a constitutional amendment in 2023 with 100 percent support, including from the Opposition, did nothing for three years, and then withdrew its own constitutional amendment by moving a second one in 2026. This shows ad hocism: Abhishek Singhvi #NewsToday Rajdeep Sardesai

#BREAKING: India raises Pakistan sponsored terror strongly at the UN, exposes Pakistan Army’s ‘constitutional coup’. Gives details of Op Sindoor and Pahalgam Terror Attack. Indian PR and Ambassador Ambharish T M: “It is not normal to tolerate Pakistan’s continued use of terrorism… This hallowed chamber cannot become a forum for Pakistan to legitimize terrorism. Pakistan.. could start by asking itself how it has let its armed forces engineer a constitutional coup through the 27th amendment and gave lifelong immunity to Pakistan’s Chief of Defence Forces.”

Citizens United is the worst Supreme Court decision in modern history. Your vote should not be drowned out by the Epstein Billionaire Class. I support a constitutional amendment to overturn it.

Rep. Nancy Mace just proposed a constitutional amendment requiring Members of Congress, federal judges, and Senate-confirmed officers to be natural-born U.S. citizens — the same standard already required for President and Vice President. Mace posted: “We just introduced a long overdue joint resolution proposing a constitutional amendment to require Members of Congress, federal judges, and Senate-confirmed officers to be natural born citizens. This is the very same standard the President and Vice President are already required to meet.” She points to Reps. Ilhan Omar (born in Somalia), Pramila Jayapal (born in India), and Shri Thanedar (born in India) as examples of divided loyalties. Passing a constitutional amendment requires 2/3 of Congress + 3/4 of states — a very high bar. Should only natural-born Americans write our laws and judge our cases? (Video: AI)

Two cases which were brought before the Constitutional Court of Zimbabwe challenging Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3 (CAB 3) have been struck off, NOT dismissed. CAB 3, which seeks, among other things, to extend President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s term of office and change the method of electing a president from direct election by citizens to election by Parliament, requires two referendums in law, but the ZANUPF faction sponsoring it wants to avoid a referendum. The Constitutional Court struck both cases off the roll this morning. It is important to understand that the cases were not dismissed on their merits. Rather, the Court held that the issues raised could not originate and be determined solely by the Constitutional Court and should first be ventilated in another forum, High Court. Professor Lovemore Maduku, who is arguing the cases, has indicated that they will now proceed to the High Court. Should the applicants fail to obtain the relief they seek there, the matters will inevitably return to the Constitutional Court on appeal. Many lawyers have described the Constitutional Court’s decision as an example of constitutional avoidance. In their view, the Court has declined to confront what has become a highly contentious constitutional question, preferring instead to defer consideration of the substantive issues. A central argument in the war veterans’ challenge, led by Professor Madhuku, is that Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3 was discussed and approved by Cabinet, which included President Mnangagwa, the two Vice Presidents, and Cabinet ministers. Professor Madhuku argues that because President Mnangagwa stands to benefit directly from provisions extending his term of office, he should not have participated in deliberations on the amendments. According to the argument, the Constitution prohibits public officials from participating in decisions in which they have a direct personal interest. However, the Constitutional Court did not determine the merits of that argument, ruling instead that the matter should be heard elsewhere first. The legal battle is therefore far from over. It now moves to the High Court and, whatever the outcome there, is likely to find its way back to the Constitutional Court for a final determination.
