Delicadeza is dead and I have yet to see judges and justices inhibit themselves in any case where they maybe be partial or influenced, all we see in the liepapers are hold outs justifying their untenable postion.

I used to read the transcript on both houses but got tired of the circus like atmosphere and gave up on it where debates are purely not on party lines but like a mafiosi type territorial power struggle.

That really leaves us no choice but to go to the streets………..

the proposition of sen. salonga can be answered by first asking this question: will the proposed investigation cause undue distraction to the performance of presidential functions? if the answer is yes, then the investigation may still violate the rule on executive immunity because it is as if the president is being sued.

the only investigation that is allowed by the constitution is with the house of representathieves, i.e. for purposes of determining whether an impeachment complaint is sufficient in form and substance.

an investigation before the office of the ombudsman may be possible but it is futile at this point to do so because whatever investigation may be concluded will have to await until june 30, 2010. besides, no impartial investigation can be had because the ombudsgirl is definitely in cahoots with the first family.

the sad thing about this executive immunity is that it is now being used as a shield by a cheating, lying and stealing president. that is the dilemma we have to contend with.

We are screwed big time, with a tongress that is at par with the past marcos rubber stamp parliament and tongress, an injustice department that runs the office as if it is the presidents’s and her minions private lawyers at their beck and call, a military and police that acts as goons and bodyguard of the the powers that be investigating, harrassing, and even responsible for political abductions and killings instead of running after criminals, a corrupt justice system where decisions are based on the highest bidder, so our only recourse is to raise the level of protest until we reach a critical mass.
