Constitutional Amendment and Judicial Reform

Discussions surrounding Sri Lanka's proposed 22nd Amendment to the Constitution, which aims to increase the retirement age of judges. The Bar Association of Sri Lanka has strongly opposed the amendment and called for a referendum.

Nothing says "Let's fix the system" like proposing to keep judges around longer—because clearly what everyone's been asking for is more seasoned takes from the bench. The Bar Association's demanding a referendum like they're surprised the government didn't just... ask nicely first.
