DZRH ISSUE: CORONA VS. AQUINO Commentaries by D. Macalma
Binanatan ni Sc Administrator Jose Midas Marquez ang napapadalas umanong pagsuway ng Executive Department sa rule of law. Inihalimbawa ni Marquez and hindi pagsunod ng DOJ sa TRO para sa mag-asawang Arroyo at ang pagtanggi ng SM Baguio na kilalanin ang Temporary Environmental Protection sa pagputol ng pine tree sa Baguio. Binanggit din ni Marquez ang paninira ni Pangulong Aquino kay Chief Justice Renato Corona at sa buong Hudikatura.

- The unusual haste with which the impeachment case was filed meant that the President has taken his threat to heart.
Impeachment trial can also be abused; impeachment trial against Corona and Del Castillo is an attack on the judiciary.
It took only 4 hours to reach a consensus that there were valid grounds for impeachment and only 3 days for house representatives to complete process. The current relationship of the executive and judiciary is unprecedented animosity.

For the IBP and the high court to let such behavior and incendiary statements against the Chief Justice and the entire judiciary, go unpunished will in turn cause a continued defiance of the rule of law and disrespect of the judiciary. The weakening of the high court has already been noted, what with a lawyer of a convent school defying the order of the court to allow the controversial students to graduate. The lawyer is already following in the footsteps of De Lima and Lacierda. This has to stop, if we are to strengthen the majesty of the law. Disbar them all.
