Noynoy Aquino and his aides have become a huge embarrassment, and certainly not an administration that a nation can be proud of, what with him and his legal aides, among whom are Justice chief Leila de Lima and Solicitor-General Anselmo Cadiz and the disgraceful former Chief Justice Hilario Davide, blasting away at the Supreme Court (SC), publicly charging the majority of the high court as having been paid to rule against Executive Order 1 (EO 1) creating his Truth Commission, citing the ruling as Gloria Arroyo investment that is paying off as well as claiming that the ruling was politically motivated.
Davide claimed that he found nothing unconstitutional about EO 1, even saying that the efforts of Noynoy to go after the corrupt has been stymied by that ruling.
But then, Davide is hardly the person who would know what is constitutional, since he is a known violator of the Constitution. As for his claim that the anti-corruption campaign of Noynoy has been dashed by the high court, he should recall the way he tried to weasel out of an impeachment charge of high level of corruption, as he refused to even account for the judiciary development fund in the billions, which was clearly misused by Davide and his court.
