Courts deal with legal issues, not political ramifications – Supreme Court nominee
According to a Supreme Court nominee, judges’ primary concern when considering a case is its merit, not its political implications or anything else.
Judges, according to Justice Samuel Kwame Adibu Asiedu, are only concerned with the legal issues raised by the case.
He claims that even though “political hats” are worn by some cases when they enter the courtroom, they are promptly removed.

Speaking at his vetting by Parliament on Wednesday, the Justice insisted that they (judges) do not worry about the persons involved but the legal points to be addressed.
“Let me say that a case may enter the courtroom wearing the hat of politics, but once it enters the courtroom, the hat drops. And so in the courtroom, the question is what wrong has been committed? What are the legal issues that we are being called upon to determine legally? So in the courtroom, it is legal issues that we deal with.

“So yes, outside the courtroom people including our friends and family and other members may see the case as political, but we don’t see it that way.

“We see that we are being called upon to answer specific legal issues and until those issues are addressed, there is nothing we can do. It is the legal points in the case that concerns us, not its political ramifications,” he maintained.
