Richard Dela Sky lodged an application with the Supreme Court on March 5, seeking a declaration nullifying the Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill, commonly referred to as the anti-gay bill.The Ningo Prampram MP argued that the court's sequencing of proceedings would have been fairer had it first considered the case concerning the anti-gay bill before turning to the matter involving the South Dayi MP.

Sam George remarked, "What is surprising to me is that the Chief Justice has not called the Richard Sky case, which is almost four weeks old, before the court to hear that, but has called the case that was less than a week old. Because it is the same principle.

“The principle the Supreme Court has espoused here, if you apply that to the Richard Sky case, that case also has to be thrown out, because it is equally very frivolous because the Supreme Court has no power to stay the hands of the president.

He continued, “But if the judiciary is not being biased, if the judiciary is showing a mind of its own, especially the chief justice, showing a mind of their own, they would have called those cases because common sense is part of legislation and the work of the judiciary.

”Sam George emphasized that an unbiased judiciary, particularly the Chief Justice, should exhibit independent judgment by addressing such cases promptly, as common sense plays a role in both legislation and judicial proceedings.
