The case has been joined in the Senate, which has demonstrated its independence and seriousness in undertaking its constitutional duties. This early, we have seen the legalistic manner by which the defense hopes to muddle the truth and bog down the proceedings. This is merely a demonstration of how the entire apparatus of control of the Arroyos and their allies is falling apart, increasingly unable to stonewall in order to hinder the quest for the truth.
Having politicized the judiciary to an unprecedented level, the calling to account of the Chief Justice presents the prospect of the judiciary finally being liberated from the chains of political indebtedness and partisanship. The public has expressed every confidence in the Senate going about its duties in impeachment with fairness, undeterred and not fooled by the conspiracy theories and cheap propaganda of the Chief Justice.
A judiciary liberated from self-serving disregard of its obligations to the Constitution and our people will be a judiciary that will be able to contribute to political stability, economic growth, and attracting investments and creating jobs.
