PP 1017 is constitutional

Playing safe again, the Supreme Court declared Presidential Proclamation 1017 as constitutional but described some of the acts for its implementation as illegal.

Which reminds us of its rulings on CPR and EO 464. (See also Strike 2: CPR is Unconstitutional.)

But of course, we cannot blame the high court. It is the court. And Supreme, at that. As my law professor once told us:

When a trial court judge commits an error in his ruling, it is considered as ignorance of the law.
When an appelate court judge commits an error in his ruling, it is considered as abuse of authority.
When a Supreme Court justice commits an error in his ruling, it is considered as the law.

Well, anyway, let us, for the last time, wait for the high court's decision on the impeachment issue.
