Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno must be panicking
over her possible impeachment by the House of Representatives.
In a story in gmanews.tv (http://www.gmanetwork.com/news/news/nation/633832/chief-justice-sereno-warns-of-threat-to-democracy/story/?top_picks&order=1),
Sereno warned that an attempt to
impeach her could threaten the country's democracy. In what way?
First: As Chief Justice, Sereno knows very well that
she alone DOES NOT SYMBOLIZE OR REPRESENT DEMOCRACY. Nor did any of her
predecessors. Second: The late former Chief Justice Rene Corona was impeached
but democracy WAS NEVER THREATENED, AND CONTINUES to this day. If I remember correctly,
some groups then even claimed that Corona’s impeachment was proof that
democracy was very much alive. Third, impeachment of the Chief Justice is provided
for in NOTHING LESS THAN THE CONSTITUTION. Is Sereno saying now that adhering
to, or following, the Constitution is a threat to democracy?
Sereno was also
quoted in the story as saying that: "Is
the judiciary safe? And if the judiciary is not safe, is democracy safe?
If ever, it will
only be Sereno who will be on trial in case she gets impeached. Not the entire
Supreme Court, and definitely not the entire Judiciary. So for Sereno to point
that is a sign of either ARROGANCE OR PANIC! Your choice, boys and girls!
Somebody had
better tell Sereno that at this point, self-serving press releases will
NOTBOOST HER CREDIBILITY, OR PUBLIC TRUST RATINGS. 30
