The impeachment of a sitting VP is quite a distraction. There are so many pressing problems and goals that the country faces. And many delight in the confusion and the quarrel that follows. The discussions are illogical and crazy
1. You can disobey the Supreme Court;
2. The Supreme Court may reverse itself
3. The Supreme Court erred because many of the justices were PRRD apoointees
4. The Supreme Court makes it difficult to impeach any one
However we should see rationally the SC ruling
1. The process for impeachment especially the HOR rules, the due process was violated especially
the referral to the Commitee on Justice
2. The endorsement to the Senate was not taken up, voted in plenary
3. With regards to the three previous impeachment complaint:
The Sec general was alleged to have violated the due process, because he was to refer the cases
to the Speaker, and acted within 10 calendar days, and referred to the Commitee on justice
The reading of the complaint the furnishing of the 4th complaint to SD and the presentation of
evidences was not done
Thus the complaint was:
1. Void ab initio
2. Unconstitutional
3. Violated the due process
We learn a lot from this (do not focus on the content) focus on the crtitical thinking, the factual analysis, devoid of political bias. This post learn from this impeachment, as much as this post enjoyed watching the Corona impeachment, and learned much from JPE especially about being irrelievant. relevant to the goal of the presentation and or agenda.
It is an opportunity for self improvement, and the ways of the lawyers, judges.
