00:00Doon po siya mga sinabi niyo kanina, is it correct to say na you're leaving the decision on this court
00:08to decide what is really the threshold?
00:12What does two-third mean?
00:14So are you telling us na kami ang mag-decide, hindi pwede ang Constitution, ang Supreme Court?
00:21Is that what you're driving at po kanina?
00:25Yes, you're an independent, free court.
00:32In fact, I hate, I mean, I am hesitant to call you an impeachment court because there is no such
00:39thing in the Constitution that is according to your rules.
00:44The Constitution merely said, the Senate shall be the sole judge to try and decide impeachment cases.
00:56It did not say the Senate shall become an impeachment court.
01:00That's just an aside.
01:02Sa akin po, ang sinasabi ko, a substance.
01:06Ano inihingi po ng ating Constitution na kayo bilang halal ng bayan, kayo magdidesisyon?
01:14Hindi po ang Korte Suprema dapat.
01:17Sapagkat kung ang ginisto ng ating Constitution, ang magdesisyon ng Supreme Court, dapat hindi na kayo.
01:26Ginawang kayo ang Senado ang magdidesisyon.
01:31Dapat sinabi na lamang, Korte Suprema na lang.
01:34Hindi po ganun ang sinabi ng ating Constitution.
01:38Ang sinabi ang Senado, ang gagawa ng disisyon tungkol sa impeachment.
01:44Kaya po, ang sinasabi ko, bagaman sinasabi ko na ako'y former Chief Justice, of which I am not ashamed.
01:52But what I'm saying is, you are called upon by our people to decide impeachment cases.
02:00Then decide it from where you sit.
02:02You don't become Supreme Court Justices.
02:07Because if the Constitution wanted you to become Supreme Court Justices, then it must have required you to be lawyers.
02:15It must have required you to pass the bar examination.
02:18It must have required you to study four years of law after four years of preparatory law.
02:24Hindi po ganun eh, ang pag-iisip ng ating mga senador.
02:29Iba naman sa pag-iisip naming mga maestrado.
02:32Iba naman sa pag-iisip naming maestrado.
02:35Iba naman sa pag-iisip ng ating kosa-jip ng ating mga use nichts.
02:37Iba naman sa pag-iisip ng ating mga na target backed up neat ni mo.
02:46You
