INQUIRER: FR. Joacquin Bernas "What all these mean is that the Supreme Court can come in when needed to determine the meaning of the law," "this did not mean the high court's superiority over the other departments, only that "the Constitution has placed in the Supreme Court the power to determine with finality the meaning of the law." "There is only one Senate which occasionally acts as impeachment court; in the same manner, there is only one Supreme Court which occasionally acts as Presidential Electoral Tribunal. The Senate whether acting as impeachment court or legislative body, is the same Senate that is coequal and not superior to the other department."
