Things I am picking up from the Corona Impeachment Trial

(picture taken from internet)



1. Impeached Chief Justice Corona defends himself not by exposing the lies of his accusers but by stifling the truth and trying to prevent it from emerging by all means.

2. It is easier for a rich man to enter the eye of a needle and the gate of heaven than for the poor to get a fair trial and justice in our country.

3. Lawyers place more value in victory by all means than justice above all.

4. Some lawyers deserve to be run out of the country - lawyers who dedicate their supposed brilliance not in the service of country but in defense of their richly paying crooked clients.

5. The judiciary can be a refuge of scoundrels ... for as long as the people allow it.

6. The impartiality of senator judges is fictional and an exercise in make believe.

7. Criminals and plunderers in the country can safely hide their loot through foreign currency deposits.

8. If we have laws favorable to thieves, it may be because we have elected thieves to make our laws.

9. The ouster of Chief Justice Corona should not be equated to reforming the Supreme Court and the Judicial Branch of government. But if charges against him can be revealed and reasonably proven, then it is a good start.
