Senate split on Davide impeachment.
(From Philippine Daily Inquirer)
Byline: Christine O. Avendano and Michael Lim Ubac
EVEN the Senate is divided on how the impeachment complaint against Chief Justice Hilario Davide Jr. should now proceed.
Opposition leader Sen. Edgardo Angara yesterday said Senate President Franklin Drilon and Sen. Joker Arroyo were "abdicating their responsibility to defend the institutional integrity of the Senate," after both said the Supreme Court should be the one to settle the issue of constitutionality.
Angara said the Senate should resolve the issue because impeachment was a "political" matter. Being a political problem, it requires a "political solution (rather) than a legal solution," he added.
"Impeachment is the exclusive province of Congress and by design, courts are excluded from it," he said in a phone interview.
Another opposition leader, Sen. Aquilino Pimentel Jr., said only the Senate could put an end to the madness that was threatening to spin out of control.
