March 16th, 2012 06:39 PM #2512Here's my thinking on this - for me, technicalities are just as important when you're talking about the impeachment of the Chief Justice. What's at stake here isn't just about one man - it is about the balance of power in the government. If, despite a miserable job presenting a faulty case with badly-crafted articles of impeachment, and supposing the defense is able to cast reasonable doubt through evidence presented, the prosecution still gets the conviction, what is to stop Aquino from impeaching the other SC justices, until he has a nice tame Supreme Court? That is why due process, in this particular case, is so important - it makes it difficult for any one man to accrue to much power. Ultimately, these "technicalities", these laws and processes, maintain civilization and prevent anarchy - after all, if you believe that a law isn't worth following because of your own personal convictions, what is to stop another person from doing the same with another law, and so on, until each person is left to just do what he wants, with no thought to what the law prescribes? There has to be an objective code that all will follow - you cannot shortcut justice just because of your convictions and beliefs.
Also, Enrile made a good point when he was admonishing the prosecution - when you are talking about stripping a man of his dignity and honor, of rendering his life's work and effort worthless and tarnishing his name in history - you need to afford that person all the possibilities allowed to defend himself, and you had better be damn sure that your decision is correct - based on what has been presented.
The shame of it is, I truly believe that Corona should be removed from office - I really think he was only appointed to cover GMA when the inevitable cases were filed. However, I believe in following the rule of law even more - and if the prosecution cannot make a strong enough case, with evidence that the defense will be unable to impeach, then Corona should not be convicted.Last edited by umi001; March 16th, 2012 at 06:46 PM.

March 16th, 2012 06:42 PM #2513Depends on what the defense presents - if they can explain the allegations in the articles of impeachment that are left, then yes he should be acquitted; if they fail to do so, even for just one article, then Corona should be removed from office. It's too early in the game to say yet - the defense is not yet done presenting their case.

March 16th, 2012 07:26 PM #2515Gagaya na lang ako sa iyo.
I want Arroyo and Corona out. But to do it the way they did it would not make things better.
Lose lose situation tayo dito.
Anu gusto natin:
1) Manatili si Corona at magkaroon si Arroyo ng chance na hindi makulong (chance lang naman, hindi pa sure kung mangyayari).
O
2) Maalis si Corona at ang whims naman ni Noynoy ang masusunod (e.g Luisita, KKK)
