MERGED: All About the Corona Impeachment

[Joseph20102011]

Does this mean we will no longer see Atty. Midas Marquez during presscon? hehehe

Naa gihapon siya, bisan na-convict na si CJ Corona, magpabilin siya gihapon as a spokesperson.

Panahon pa ni CJ Davide na si Midas Marquez maoy spokesperson sa SC.

dont get me wrong, its inherent in politics to switch sides when a 'situation' calls for it. It is a trademark of every politician not just here but everywhere.. even in the U.S.

As the old sayings said.. Save your ship first before saving others. If you can jump ship before it goes down, then do it.. so that you can live another day.

That's why Herod washed his hands to clean himself out of prosecuting Jesus, and saying it was the people who called for Jesus's prosecution... It's because Herod doesn't want the burden to be on him or siding other parties. Since time immemoria., loyalty to politician's creed is much as a loyalty to an onion skin paper... it breaks down as soon as you hold it.

Anyway.. going back to the CJ Guilty decision. Since the administration, is given 90 days to appoint the next chief magistrate.. they better appoint fast because there would be an uproar (just like before) if no chief supreme court judge will be appointed soon.

CJ is history.... as far as I know...

I dont think its proper for people to say that the senators convicted the CJ just because of "POLITICS", because if we want to be very "legal" and very "technical" the verdict is just. He did not declare his SALN properly, he is a lawyer and a public servant he is not some government employee who has no knowledge of the law. Even that could show bad faith and malice on his part.

Anyway the case was not won on the strength of the prosecution but rather on the weakness of the defense. Obviously the testimony of Chief Justice nailed his conviction. From then on the senator judges does not have any choice but to convict him. Yeah in someways he lost the case base on technicality. Which is kind of ironic considering that at onset of the trial the defense is very technical on its stance.

i salute to the 3 senators who voted to acquit CJ corona..not that nilaban ko ni corona but because of how they see the law and for the better judgement they gave regarding the case..

[kreik101]

mana jud ang impeachment.. worth it najud mu tanaw ug balik ug balita.

and time for the senators to go back to their real job. and mamingaw nasad. aw election naman sad diay. ugh politics!

I think the turning point in why there was a 20-3 vote against Corona was when he walked out of the impeachment trial.

That was very rude and disrepectful of him and given the fact that I heard one of the Senators (I forgot who), who said that he was almost believe on Corona's statement but realize he was wrong... proves only my point that they we're (the senators) was also much hurt and disrespected when Corona walk out on them.

That was the straw that broke's the camel backs (as a turning point why the 20 senators voted against him).

In any meetings or even a 1-1 conversation, You don't walk out to someone impolitely when someone is still waiting or talking to you... that is totally disrepectful even to a common person.

How much more on a Chief Magistrator being personified as the head of one of the top government of our land... just walking out... is totally unacceptable jud.

First of all, congratulations sa tanan. Congratulation to the prosecution team for winning the case. Former TJ case will now set an example to remind all crooks to better change their ways. And to all greenies, better luck next time....
