DRAMATIC IMPEACHMENT HEARING

by Wilhelmina S. Orozco 

The drama attendant to the declaration of the impending presence of the CJ at the Impeachment hearing is now unfolding. We must expect more drama to come up -- not necessarily in tears.

Don't we recall when Erap appeared at the Davide impeachment hearing and later on a group of officials walked out to give power to those who were at EDSA and to make them unseat him?

I have become suspicious of any move coming from the camp of the CJ and his patroness. For 9 years we were always on the look out for any of their political antics which ranged from simple acts to the most bizarre -- that of media people losing their lives for being critical.

Hence, our vigilance should be double now that the heat in the impeachment hearing is getting too hot to handle. The people must be cautious of any move to make it appear that they are following judicial processes.

GMA learned the ropes too well on how to twist the legal processes to make her on top year in and year out, bribing the highest officials so that they would not turn their backs on her.

And why was she so industrious in attending to her presidential duties then? I was told that she was examining all the papers that she was made to sign in order to check if any of those would be putting her in hot waters later on.

What makes us so edgy about this impeachment case is that so long as the cohorts of the last administration are still in power, then we would not expect any clean judgment on any political case whatsoever. The CJ was one of those who sat on two of my cases at the Supreme Court which were turned down. Need I say more?
