Scarce delicadeza

An impeachment trial being a political exercise rather than judicial is a given fact in a democracy. It boggles one’s perspective that a political impeachment court would act “meticulously” like a regular court, while the highest court of the nation would in dispensing “justice,” posture itself proudly like a political bloc. Such a vicissitude.

Suppression of evidence is evidence in itself stronger than the evidence being suppressed; and which act to defy logic and insult reason whereby laws were created to untie the knots, could be more than enough to convict anyone. Technicalities and “legalities” have long been the silly refuge for the indefensible.

The wiser act that the Supreme Court justices could do is to adapt a “hands-off” mindset and policy toward everything that relates to the ongoing Senate impeachment trial of their Chief Justice. But prudence and “delicadeza” seem to be in scarcity among them. I salute those who voted against the TRO on Corona’s dollar bank accounts.
