Rule of justice | Inquirer Opinion

Rule of justice | Inquirer Opinion

By columnist C. de Quiros:

"x x x.

Why should P-Noy bow to the wishes of the Supreme Court without challenge? For that matter, why should the people of this country submit to the wisdom of the Supreme Court without question, when at the very least it is headed by someone who should never have been a chief justice, who should have resigned long ago out of basic decency, and who should have inhibited himself out of fundamental justice from rendering judgment on the one person he owes his life to?

When at the very most the Supreme Court harbors justices who should never have been justices, who should have been deeply ashamed of themselves for championing plagiarism and reinventing finality, who should have resigned long ago for being an outrage to the true, the good, the beautiful, especially the beautiful?

As shown subsequently, which only proved how Renato Corona could not have been acting objectively on the matter, his mouthpiece, Jose Midas Marquez, would distort the Court’s position on the TRO by claiming it was binding, although the Arroyos had not complied with one of the basic conditions for leaving the country.

Where was the fault on government’s part? By all the ways of law and justice, P-Noy had right of say. By all the ways of heaven and earth, P-Noy had right of way.

But it’s more than that. Far, far more than that.

What in God’s name has happened to our memory? Have we forgotten who Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo is? Have we forgotten what she has done to the country? Have we forgotten the lying, cheating and stealing? Have we forgotten the killings? Have we forgotten how in her time the wicked were rewarded and the righteous punished? Have we forgotten how everything was turned upside down in this country? Have we forgotten how like Midas in reverse, Marquez or not, she turned everything she touched, including freedom, including decency, including human life itself from gold to dross? Have we forgotten the weeping and gnashing of teeth of a people condemned to living hell who thought they would never see the light of day, let alone catch a glimpse of heaven?
