I will proceed to show that your article indicates your inability to interpret simple legal learning, your ignorance of the Standing Order of the House and Parliamentary Practice and usage. In your piece you partially based your opinion on what you referred to Erskine May, which you referred to as \u201cHis Authoritative Text\u201d on the Law, privileges, proceedings and usage of Parliament. You therefore are in agreement with me that <strong>Erskine May<\/strong> treaties is apropos and you are in disagreement with the former Speaker, Ms Giselle Isaac, the former President of the Senate, Mrs Hazilyn Francis and none other than Justin Simon QC., all of whom have stated that <strong>Erskine May<\/strong> does not apply. You then deliberately proceeded to mislead the readership, by quoting only half of the relevant text, a ploy that is blatantly dishonest and unprofessional.<\/p>\n<p>In quoting <strong>Erskine May, <\/strong>you reproduced the first three lines of the text and left out most of the learning.
