Time to end the judicial agony 11 SHARES Share it! Based on the Supreme Court’s quo warranto ruling, she cannot now even claim that she ever officially occupied this exalted position. Media records show that long before the court’s quo warranto decision, Sereno had politicized the quo warranto petition by identifying herself as the personification of the judiciary and by thereafter wrapping herself in the cloak of judicial independence. This independence, she claimed, was seriously threatened by the quo warranto petition against her, implying – not very subtly – that it was an attack against the judiciary’s queen. “Experts” – lawyers and non-lawyers, qualified or unqualified, wise or otherwise – aired theories of law on how the quo warranto petition should be handled and resolved.
