22nd Amendment to the Irish (Don't Laugh)'constitution'

And other ways to hoodwink people into thinking they live in a democracy

As I was casually perusing the (ahem) constitution of our "nation", I was quite surprised to stumble upon this little nugget.

It amounts to nothing less than a public admission by the cadre of brown envelope juggling fuckfaces that "run" this "country",that the whole thing is a set up,a big fucking giggle for all who are privy to certain info.
I am referring to a proposed amendment by some sensible person that would make the judiciary constitutionally responsible for its actions .In simple terms this means that if they break the law they get punished.Just like the rest of us chumps.
Almost needless to say,when voted on in the oireachteas,it was not carried.
Allow me to repeat in slightly different words.A majority of elected "representatives" decided that it would be a bad idea to have Judges who were responsible for their own actions.
I'd imagine that would probably get in the way of the roaring trade they do in brown envelopes.

"There is no Twenty–second Amendment of the Constitution. The Twenty–second Amendment of the Constitution Bill, 2001 [relating to the removal of a judge from office and providing for a body to be established by law to investigate or cause to be investigated conduct constituting misbehaviour by a judge or affected by incapacity of a judge] was not passed by the Houses of the Oireachtas."(!!!!!!)[exclamations mine]
