Defiance bordering on arrogance

This country is going down further into the pits. It's a sorry spectacle. The military's defiance of the Supreme Court's writ of habeas corpus order is a serious blow to the integrity of the judiciary. It's a slap in the face. Disrespect of the highest order. It's a dangerous precedent indeed, as described by Associate Justice Normandie Pizarro. The orders of the high court would lose its teeth and people would get the idea that they are mere scraps of paper. Why is this happening? It's simple actually. The highest official of our land is setting the example so her subordinates have the guts to do so too. No president after the people power revolution has tested the limits of the constitution and got away with it except this evil one currently in office. If this trend continues, the Supreme Court would no longer be the court of last resort. People will be holding guns instead of pleadings, and they will flock to the mountains instead of Padre Faura. The promulgation will be based on the number of bodies lying on the ground.

Let's just hope the next president (if ever the elections pushes through) will reverse the cancer Arroyo inflicted on our country. Just like how Obama is healing the deep wounds left by George Bush. Let's hope and pray.
