SC’s venture in poll protest puts impeachment on drawing board

The Supreme Court’s sudden change on stance on electoral protest has kept the planned filing of impeachment raps against the Supreme Court justices on the drawing board, a House leader said Monday.

Rep. Reynaldo Umali of Oriental Mindoro and Neri Colmenares of Bayan Muna party-list, who served as prosecutors during the impeachment trial of former Chief Justice Renato Corona, made the disclosure in light of his House Resolution that Umali filed to reiterate the sole jurisdiction of the House of Representatives Electoral Tribunal (HRET) on electoral protests against House members who are proclaimed winners.
