All right if decisions go their way

Yet do they blindly follow their god in accepting only those court decisions that are favourable to them? 

In the 2001 assets-concealment case, which the Truth and Reconciliation Commission found was the primary cause of political division, Thaksin eagerly accepted the Constitution Court’s decision. He agreed he’d committed an “honest mistake”, even though he, or agents for whom he accepted legal liability, had to repeatedly reaffirm their knowledge that his maid, driver, etc, held billions of his assets every time they transferred dividends from his staff’s accounts to his. 

And this even though a plurality of judges had voted that he was guilty of the charges brought. He also gladly accepted at least eight other decisions of the judicial system acquitting not only him but also his then-wife and Chalerm Yoobamrung, etc.

But when the decision goes against him, he rejects the court’s authority, now saying that the Constitution Court’s suspension of the charter-amendment bill debate was an attempt to destroy the government, asking his disciples: “Are you going to let them steal our power again? We cannot trust the situation now since they still won’t play by the rules.”

Who’s not playing by the rules, Mr PhD in Law? Why don’t you urge your disciples to stay calm, and use legal means to protest the court’s decision?
