A number of issues have been raised since I last spoke. The most important point in all of this discussion on the amendments to the section is that the constitutional position of the Government in the appointment of members of the Judiciary is not being changed in any way, nor could it be. It has not been expressed by anybody that a constitutional amendment to change it would be either desirable or should be contemplated.
