Lose-Lose Situation for CJ Corona, SC

"x x x.


An impeachment is a method of national inquest into the conduct of high officials, specially of the unelected -- why not open up the records of the Justices on foreign travels from the time PNoy took over? My theory is that we will find enough there to lay the basis for Rene's "soft impeachment" or censure. And I wonder how long a CJ, for Censured Justice, would last, the one who insulted the masa in April 2001 for being walang salawal, walang ipin, at Edsa, helping trigger the sorry May 1 bloodbath in front of the Palace.
Rene overly socializes, even with litigants, and watched the Lettermen for two consecutive working nights in 2010. Where was he the week the TRO was issued? In the US, to watch Manny Pacquiao the way he did last year? And let us look at the Corona family's records in Camp John Hay on how much they had spent for leisure at public expense. Paging Ellen Tordesillas. Censurable, at the least.
The inquest should result in Justices again being read, not heard or seen, and without a CJ Spokesman who even quarrels publicly with a Justice. The way we were -- when Justice Celing Palma would even turn down an invite from the IBP, but reconsidered, whose current leadership she might rebuke today for presumption, if not arrogance. Five past IBP Prezs (Angangco, Grapilon, Lim, Pilando, and Cadiz) disagree with the current Prez. So who does the latter really speak for? 
What if Rene walks? He'll be a lameduck, censured by the people, if not by the Senate. His "soft impeachment" by the people will validate what Teddy Boy Locsin wrote today, December 31, 2011: ". . . [I]f Noynoy is defeated, the trial though which he made the Court undergo may convince the Court, for its self-preservation, to clean house and finally do justice to all."
PNoy and the people have won and know it; Rene refuses to acknowledge that he and his family have lost and would rather have all their dirty linen exhibited for all the world to see.
