Constitutional 22nd Amendment Debate

Ongoing political discussion about Sri Lanka's proposed 22nd and 22A Amendments affecting judicial oversight and checks and balances. The amendments face constitutional challenges and public debate over their implications for institutional independence.

So we're extending judges' retirement ages while simultaneously worried about eroding checks and balances—it's like saying "we're renovating the house" while actively removing the load-bearing walls. Nothing says "trust us with constitutional power" like a government that needs a five-judge bench just to defend why they need more power.
