Clearing articles backlog
This news has been read 10345 times!
I have been writing about 30 articles a month for nearly two decades without stopping. I publish about 20 of them and I accumulate the rest.
After a while, I do away with some of what I have accumulated because the topics become outdated or my mood changes about them and what remains awaits publication and the waiting period extends for years and it is not an exaggeration.
I do not really know how to deal with these accumulated articles, especially since I am already tired of writing and reviewing them as I am neither an expert writer nor a professional.
I thought of stopping completely from following events and reading newspapers and this clears my mind, and I do not find news or urgent matter that motivates me to write about it, thus this will give me time to revise the articles which are in my archive and publish them successively.
It is a solution which sounds easy to talk about but hard to implement. Dear reader! Do you have another solution?
On March 14, 2021, the Constitutional Court issued a verdict declaring null and void the election of former MP Badr Al-Dahoum in the 2020 parliamentary elections on the grounds he did not fulfill the conditions for candidacy.
Former MP Al-Dahoum did not accept the ruling of the Constitutional Court and decided to file three appeals before the Court of Cassation challenging the decision of the Constitutional Court, asking for his reinstatement.
While awaiting the verdict of the Court of Cassation, 16 university professors and human rights defenders, including the recently elected MP Obaid Al-Wasmi met at the end of March 2021, in realizing their national responsibility and in response to a call of legal duty.
They signed a statement rejecting the ruling of the Constitutional Court on the pretext that the Court of Cassation had earlier concluded, through its ruling, that Al-Dahoum is eligible to run for the elections and that there was no legal impediment to his running for the elections because he apparently had fulfilled all the requirements for candidacy stipulated in the Constitution and in the electoral law, and on the basis of which Al-Dahoum participated in the elections on Dec 5, 2020 and won the seat.
Consequently, the senior professors and doctors issued their statement supporting the verdict of the Court of Cassation as it is the highest court in the country, and in support of the three appeals submitted by Badr al-Dahoum against the rulings of the Constitutional Court annulling his membership in the National Assembly, expecting that the Cassation Court will inevitably rule by accepting the appeals, and the validity of the election Al-Dahoum as a deputy.
Some considered their statement either as interfering in the verdict of the Court of Cassation or as expressing a final opinion of a group of law professors about what the ruling will end up with and both are unacceptable.
On June 16, 2021, the Court of Cassation issued its verdict that the three appeals may not be considered, and that the rulings issued by the Constitutional Court, including the rulings on the appeals to the National Assembly elections are final that do not need comment, interpretation, modification or alteration.
This is what Professor Imad Al-Saif predicted and stressed at an early stage through his sarcastic tweets on April 4, 2021.
We wonder why the outputs of Kuwait University are weak.

I mentioned in a recent article that the popular uprising in Iraq took place after the 2003 war and of course it took place after the war to liberate Kuwait in 1991. Sorry for the omission.
