Another Bad Day for the Prosecution
Feb 2, 2012, the 9th day of the Impeachment Trial of CJ Renato Corona. Another bad day for the prosecution. Can they score a "hit" in the other articles of impeachment? They should now stop the proceedings and let the Senate do their job as legislators.
Started the day at 3:30am with a cup of hot water.
I have been rooting for the prosecution. As things go now, there is no chance for them to dislodge the CJ from his position. I go down in defeat with them. But I am telling myself I will not feel bad. Now I remember Alexander Pope: "Blessed are they who expect nothing, for they will not be disappointed." I should have pinned the quotation against the wall behind the TV when I started monitoring the proceedings on Day 1. Those guys in the prosecution team are a great disappointment. Will I be disappointed with Laoageno Rep. Rudy Farinas, who will be handling Article 6 of the impeachment complaint?
It's just in Article 2 that the prosecution is bungling it's job, I say. But judging from the performance of the team, it does not augur well for them in succeeding hearings.
