Yingluck silent while her govt goes feral

Ref: "PM urged to sack official for intimidating judges", Politics, yesterday.

An official in the Yingluck government, Yoswarit Chooklom (aka Jeng Dokjik), has put the lives of the Constitution Court judges in danger by allegedly exposing their telephone numbers and the names of their family members at a recent red-shirt gathering. He also allegedly urged the cheering demonstrators to call and intimidate these people.
Also, several members of the Pheu Thai Party came out and allegedly openly threatened the Constitution Court judges in various ways – ranging from impeachment to a cut in the court’s annual security budget.
It seems PM Yingluck can no longer avoid taking part in clearing the air between the country’s legislative and judicial branches – because her administrative branch is also deeply involved in the melee.
PM Yingluck’s inaction at this juncture will be construed as that she is doing – or avoiding doing – certain things for the good of only one person – and not for her country as she keeps saying.
