Ridiculous is what has been developing in the Supreme Court plagiarism issue where the University of the Philippines College of Law went up in arms over the SC’s show cause order, on the accusation of the same issue raised by the law college against one associate justice of the SC.
It is ridiculous for the law college to make such a fuss about the high court’s show cause order because they are all lawyers, and therefore know that all they have to do is to respond to the order.
Yet they go public and utilize the media to get public sympathy — which would really be difficult, considering that the issue is hardly enough to get the public all riled up and sympathizing with these lawyers on this particular issue that does not have any impact on their lives, no matter what the propagandists--includin the media -- say.
It has come to a point where one UP law professor came out to state that the high court justices can be impeached over the plagiarism issue.
That’s a lot of bluster and won’t stand up in an impeachment case, and these lawyers know it.
