The Anvils of Justice Have been Struck. Let the Senate Impeachment Proceedings Begin!

The anvils of justice have been struck. We now keep watch over the proceedings at the Senate for Ombud Gutierrez's impeachment. Though I hope she would, but I don't think that she'd resign. Definitely, everyone must be fairly tried. Yet, curiously, I've observed, impeachment proceedings (Nixon's, Clinton's, Erap's as my reference points)had  always been accompanied by a frenzied atmosphere. You add into the mix the fact that the majority decision is rendered with questionable motives and decision-makers, then a side will always have a claim that things were unfair. And such can also actually be claimed by a side if an impeachment didn't happen. Ergo, in such sense, impeachment or non-impeachment will always be unfair, to a specific side's vantage point, especially when done at the lower house level. Mob rule, mob lynching, people may call it. But, fortunately or unfortunately, that's how the kind of our democracy so far works.  So we wait how the so-called conscience votes at the Senate spell out.
