The Supreme Court (SC) magistrates allied with Chief Justice Renato Corona, who in turn Noynoy had made known that he preferred not be in that post, appears to have spilt first blood in the long anticipated face-off with the Aquino administration and its allies after ordering, and in a quick fashion, the House to indefinitely suspend the impeachment proceedings against Ombudsman Merceditas Gutierrez.
Moreover, the eight justices who ruled to suspend the House action described the impeachment move against Merci as “capricious and whimsical” which is more or less similar to poking a finger into somebody’s opponent’s nose.
Talking of whimsical, it is hard to digest the SC action on Gutierrez’s petition to stop the House move to oust her as being the product of introspection since it took the high court less than 24 hours to make.
