Seems like we are, indeed, under a revolutionary situation. Think about this, my friends.
We have been deprived of knowing the Truth. Justice has been elusive, examples are efforts at subverting the Supreme Court and recent debacles encountered by the Justice Department. And peace, oh, it's as elusive as those comets in the sky.
Truth has been stripped and raped. Lady Justice is not just blindfolded, but bound by sinister forces. And peace torn into smithereens.
Justice has now grounded to an indefinite halt. Is this cleansing process a move to prepare a favorable justice system post-Gloria? Is Gloria and her minions too paranoid that they are using this occasion to populate the Department of Justice with their favorable yes-men? Is that the reason why the President called on all prosecutors to take a hike?
Amidst this frenzy and noise, the President has just appointed her man to the Supreme Court. Bantay Korte Suprema was taken by surprise. Will the Supreme Court Chief Justice be the next to be sidelined? Maybe. Yet, the attempt could backfire since Puno enjoys the support of many sectors, including the Makati Business Club (MBC).
Or, maybe, just maybe, these underhanded tactics would force the Chief Justice to throw his hand in the presidential derby? Or lead the revolt which he so shunned before?
The Philippine judiciary is being attacked. And the defenders of democracy are preparing themselves for a showdown with the hawks and Machivellis hiding behind the puny dress of Mrs. Arroyo.
