  "summary": "Parliament's Appointments Committee Chairman, Bernard Ahiafor, has dismissed the Minority's objection to the vetting of three Supreme Court nominees, describing it as \"flimsy\", \"hollow\" and \"baseless\". Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin had called for the vetting to be postponed, arguing that there was no immediate vacancy on the Supreme Court that required the nominees to be considered urgently. Ahiafor dismissed the Minority's concerns, maintaining that the Appointments Committee could not overturn a decision already taken by the full House.",
