Midnight appointments are hardly the core issue in the executive order released by Malacañang, because there really is no way for Noynoy and his legal team to know just who are the so-called midnight appointees, as the EO is a blanket order, combined with threats to remove all of those appointments done within the election ban period and probably reappoint the bulk of these so-called appointees. It is very likely that Gloria Arroyo did not appoint anyone — at least officially — within the election ban period. She would have known better than to be caught appointing anyone — outside of appointing people in an acting capacity — within the election ban period. Truth is, if Noynoy and his lawyers knew just who among the close to a thousand appointees are midnight appointees, they would already have been given their walking papers. It would be pretty difficult to identify close to a thousand of so-called midnight appointees and quite frankly, Malacañang is just giving itself a huge headache over this EO and spend time and effort before the court defending its EOs.
