Wanting to have their way again
Ninety million Filipinos don’t give a damn about the issue on whether newly-installed Supreme Court (SC) Chief Justice Renato Corona should have, or should not have been appointed by Gloria Arroyo. Only a few — and really, really, few — not even counting in the tens of thousands — have been making this an issue, and all because these frigging sanctimonious elite shits want to get their way again on the matter of their yellow hero appointing his own choice of SC CJ. They talk of the need for Corona not to accept the appointment, for delicadeza’s sake. They talk of this being a midnight appointment, and an erroneous decision and that the high court loses all its independence and respect with a chief justice allied with Gloria at the helm of the judiciary, as right now, there is already doubt cast on the integrity and independence of the court. But just who are casting these doubts, if not these sanctimonious elite shits, and all because they want to have their way, instead of bowing to the law — as interpreted by the high court, right or wrong. It is the elite creating all these controversies, not the Filipino people, and frankly, these elitists do not represent the Filipino people, whom they have, through their greed for power and position, kept them poor and ignorant all along with their lies and hypocrisy.

The President-Elect’s position on the Corona issue is very dangerous. The Supreme Court has already ruled WITH FINALITY that President Arroyo has the power to appoint the Chief Justice to replace the Hon. Reynante Puno.
The Supreme Court is the final arbiter on constitutional issues. So whether or not somebody agrees with a decision handed down by the Supreme Court, once a decision becomes final and executory, that decision becomes part of the law of the land.
The President-Elect’s refusal to recognize this may lead to a constitutional crisis.
Moreover, it's quite evident that the two (2) people around the President-Elect who are the loudest advocates of the hard-ball tact on the Corona appointment — namely former Defense Secretary Avelino Cruz and former Solicitor General Simeon Marcelo, are doing so because of vested personal interests.
It is obvious that Cruz and Marcelo are vocal against the Corona appointment only because they want to see Justice Antonio Carpio -- the founder of their Law Office (Carpio, Villaraza, and Cruz; now known as Villaraza, Cruz, Marcelo, and Angangco), to be chosen Chief Justice instead of Corona.
