People are taking a sigh of relief that Aminuddin somehow not sneaked in as a CJ and therefore are passively accepting Afridi to head the court. However, this appears to be a flawed logic and could potentially be quite toxic for the future of our justice system and will significantly increase the power of the Generals due to these reasons.
# Based on recent Army Amendments, chances of Aminuddin taking the helm of affairs at SC was almost zero to none.
# Based on the Amendments, Justice Mansoor or Munib would have been next in line if Afridi recuses himself from becoming CJ.
# Post of CJ will cede it's power to the upcoming head of constitutional courts.
# Accepting current set-up will open the way for drastic future amendments which will be more stringent and at the same time easier to do than the last one.
# Formation of judicial oversight committee completely tie up hands of the judges and say good bye to any semblance of independence of judiciary.
# Generals and dynastic mafia will become much more powerful if Army Amendments are not vociferously opposed.
