The scheme that one senator-judge will motion to dismiss the impeachment case against the VP is highly irregular, immoral, and unconstitutional ... that is, according to one legal luminary who did not flinched his eyes when he said that.
He further stated that you could not find a court in the world where a judge would advocate and propose the dismissal of the case.
The impeachment needs to be TRIED and HEARD. No senator should make any motion to dismiss ... motion to acquit ... or motion to convict without a hearing or trial.
Simply put, you could not acquit or convict the VP without considering the testimonies and evidence presented during the impeachment inquiry.
Any senator worth their salt should know that. For isn't that the most basic thing a senator should know? Pwede ka bang mag-acquit or dismiss ng ganon-ganon na lang, Conversely hindi din pwede mag-sentence ng conviction na wala man lang trial and litigation.
So it is high time that the Senate ay umopo na at pakinggan ang ebidensya at saka magpasiya - whether to give the VP the clean bill of health ... or gnash her teeth after being laid off.
Wala na ang Senate ng dahilan para hindi ituloy ang paglilitis.
Hindi na puede idahilan at mamilosopo pa ang liderato ng Senado na "sigi ipakita mo sa amin kung saan parte ng Constitution mabasa na merong nagbabawal sa mga senador na gagawa ng motion to dismiss katulad ng ginawa ni Bato.
"Sigi ipakita ninyo ng magkalaman na na bawal gumawa ng ganoon motion ang isang senator judge?"
That was funny and full of ignorance. Diba dapat ang NASASAKDAL lang (Si VP Inday yon) ang dapat magfile ng motion to dismiss ... so by very nature that the Senate act as impeachment court ... bawal kahit sino mang hukom o kahit sino man sa mga Senador ang gumawa ng ganyang mga motion.
Kung nabubulagan lang sila dahil kaibigan nila si Inday at hindi sila nagiisip ... lantaran na at inaamin nila na mga Senador sila ng mga Duterte at hindi senador ng bayan.
"A judge never moves to dismiss ... it is one of the parties who moves to dismiss ... never the judge.
It is the judge who rules on the motion to dismiss ... kung pagbigyan o hindi.
Pero sa aking pananaw MALI ang pagbiyan ang motion to dismiss kasi ang utos ng Saligang Batas ay PAKINGGAN ang kaso."
