Mamamayang Liberal party-list Representative Leila de Lima on Sunday raised her concern over the Supreme Court’s (SC) directive to Congress regarding the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte.
(The Senate can use it, out of judicial courtesy to the Supreme Court, to hold off the impeachment, so that the issues raised in those two petitions would not become moot and academic.)
De Lima said the impeachment trial should proceed since Duterte submitted her answer ad cautelam in compliance with the Senate impeachment court order.
