Chief Justice Miriam Defensor-Santiago?

[swordsman]

Miriam? Holy crap!

Mas 'Holy crap!' at si Gloria ang may power mag-appoint!

[DoctorDoom]

Yes, you are all forgetting that President Arroyo is the one who will choose who will be the next Chief Justice from the recommended list.

If the so-called "old boys club" wanted to block Miriam, they should have done so before she was recommended in the first place.

And lastly, evenif Miriam becomes a Chief Justice, it doesn't mean her decisions are unilateral. Take note that Supreme Court decisions are voted upon by all justices who make up the High Tribunal. It's not like she can decide on issues by herself alone.

Yes, but take the Cha-Cha issue for example. If i remember correctly, it was the Chief Justice who broke the tie and 'killed' the People's initiative. Buti na yong siguradong hindi si Miriam ang magiging tie-breaker.

Being the "tie-breaker" person, doesn't mean anything.

In the recent cha-cha issue in the Supreme Court, Panganiban has already made up his mind on his vote. It's not like he only made his decision after seeing the votes of the other Associate Justices. The death of cha-cha in the Supreme Court cannot be blamed on Panganiban's so-called "tie-breaker" vote. The collective votes of the 8 justices killed the cha-cha.

The "tie-breaker" issue is a purely psychological interpretation, and nothing more.

need pa raw ng mandatory psychological test before makapasa.

That's a standard requirement ever since.

[niky]

Is it a requirement for government? Why is she still there, then?

[shadow]

I don't care if she's highly qualified, experinced etc. she's still every inch a politician to me, with self interest to protect and of her boss gma

ano ba talaga gusto ni gma macontrol na niya 3 branches of govt natin? para magawa na niya lahat ng gusto niya, kaya niya ba pinipilat mag chacha para ma dissolve na a ng senate at sila lang ang lumalaban sa kanya dahil hawak na niya ang mga bayaran congressmen sa lower house

Miriam mangangagat sa pagkakasibak sa SC

Matapos mabura ang kanyang pangalan sa listahan ng mga pinal na kandidato sa babakantehing puwesto ni Supreme Court (SC) Chief Justice Artemio Panganiban, sumabog kahapon si Sen. Miriam Defensor Santiago kung saan nagpahayag pa ito ng kagustuhang mangagat para mailabas ang galit.
Dalawang beses naghuramentado si Santiago sa loob ng session hall kahapon matapos mabalitaang hindi isinama ng Judicial Bar Council (JBC) ang kanyang pangalan sa apat kataong pagpipilian ni Pangulong Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo para maging SC chief justice.
Pagkatapos magsisigaw sa unang interbyu ng Senate reporters kung saan direktang inakusahan ni Santiago si Panganiban bilang promotor sa pagkakabura ng kanyang pangalan, muling tumayo ang senadora sa session hall upang atakehin sa privilege speech ang kasalukuyang chief justice.
Unang binanatan ni Santiago ang liderato ng JBC, maliban kay Senate majority floor leader Francis Pangilinan, ex-officio member, matapos tawaging ‘bulate’ ang mga miyembrong nagbura sa kanyang pangalan, sa pangunguna ni Panganiban.
Samu’t saring pang-iinsulto ang ipinukol ni Santiago kay Panganiban, katulad ang pang-ismol sa ewkuwelahang pinagmulan ng chief justice, gamit ang alegasyong graduate lamang ito ng Far Eastern University (FEU) kumpara sa kanya na produkto ng University of the Philippines (UP).
"Hindi lang ako galit, gusto kong mangagat ng tao," banta ni Santiago na ikalawang beses nang naetsapuwera ng JBC para sa posisyon sa SC chief justice.
Samantala, kinumpirma ni Pangilinan ang pangalan nina Associate Justice Rey-nato Puno, Justices Leonardo Quisumbing, Angelina Sandoval-Gutierrez at Consuelo Ynares-Santiago sa short list na isinumite para sa konsiderasyon ni Pangulong Arroyo.

kriiiinnnnnnnnnnggggggg....

[cutedoc]

many may have called her names pero bilib ako sa depth of her knowledge, she has her temper which is a bad quality of being the ruler, she may have some flaws but di naman matatawaran talino niya

[Flagg]

Si Madam Auring nalang kesa sa kanya... Alam pa niya ang future... :evillaugh

Agree ako kay Cutedoc dito

actually part ng psycho test yung public interview. accdg to jbc, buang lang ang papayag na magpapublic interview, so they tested the candidates. all candidates refused to be publicly interviewed except miriam, so na disqualify si miriam for being buang. buang na matalino, if you like.

I actually used to think highly of Miriam, back when she was with Immigration. Unlike other well-meaning Commisioners and Department Heads, who often get engineered out of their posts for being too hard on corruption but too nice to avoid scandal... Miriam cleaned that place up during her stay and was smart enough to avoid intrigues. She's a real iron lady, and she might have made a good President, once upon a time... if no one would have had the guts to assasinate her.

But that was then... during her presidential campaign, we saw another side of her... a megalomaniac streak a mile wide... my boss once said that she was the very definition of a manic-depressive... super-competent and bursting full of energy in her manic mode, and just plain... weird... when she was off of it.
