SC junks
‘Con-Ass’ petitions |
|
Critics on guard, suspicious of Lozano’s move |
|
The Supreme Court Tuesday junked
two petitions seeking to nullify the controversial House Resolution
1109, which seeks to convene Congress into a Constituent
Assembly—or “Con-Ass”—for the purpose of amending the
Constitution.
The resolution raised howls of
protest, because the Senate was not to be part of the Constituent
Assembly, or “Con-Ass.” The measures, lawmakers said, was not
meant to shut out the Senate, but to draw the Supreme Court into
ruling on the issue.
