For the Yellows and like-minded, if the Supreme Court (SC) goes against Noynoy Aquino and his Malacañang, it is a judged a court beholden to Gloria Arroyo. But if the high court ruling favors Aquino or past Yellow presidents, such as Noynoy’s mother, the high court is deemed by them as an independent court.
Stated differently, as long as the high court rules in favor of the Yellows’ anointeds, past and present, they will praise the court as being highly independent and will never call them appointees of the previous Malacañang tenant.
Cory Aquino, in 1986, shortly after the Edsa revolt, demanded the resignation of all the SC justices, as they were regarded as the Marcos appointees. She then appointed her allies to the high court and retained some of the justices, who were reappointed by her.
