Cguro, the “magic seven” is, like chacha, just another “baseless political paranoia.” Cguro, dpat let’s not throw fault at GMA, nwei, the constitution, as worded, is to blame. Pti, d nmn tayo ngratify ng consti (I’m speaking for my generation). Pero, sabi kasi ni Pareng Arthur (John), express ratification and acquiescence are the same banana, i.e., by not amending the consti, we are, therefore, expressly consenting to its legitimacy and wisdom. Pero malay mo the moves toward chacha and impending appointment of seven justices the next year (as a necessary response to the coincidence of seven justices retiring a year prior the elections) are both based on good intentions—as always. Malay natin. Enwei, sabi naman ni Pareng Burke: “A thing may look specious in theory, and yet be ruinous in practice; a thing may look evil in theory, and yet be in practice excellent.” Malay mo, it will turn out to be excellent for all parties concerned. Pati, sabi nga ni Pare (E. Burke), “all that is required for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing.” O, e di kasalanan pala ng good men. Wherefore, I move for the immediate dismissal of this controversy against the government and its officials, your Honor.

naive i may sound but i believe gma’s power over the sc justices end with their appointment. after that, separation na uli ng powers yun. well, i hope this is not just wishful thinking.

I think it’s better to be paranoid than to be complacent. But i have to say that there are some qualified people in the short list, namely: Atty. Robles and Atty. Villanueva.
