CHIEF Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno is crying persecution. Chief Justice Sereno happens to be the highest-placed lawyer in the country. The justice committee has invited her to attend, and has even allowed her to cross-examine the complainant, lawyer Larry Gadon. One has to ask her if she ever condemned the previous House when it never gave Chief Justice Corona the privilege of a committee hearing. For someone who remained silent and who personally benefited from Aquino’s assault on judicial independence, and on the denial of Chief Justice Corona the due process of a House hearing to find for probable cause, or of a fair Senate trial, Chief Justice Sereno complains too much.
