14 senators file resolution urging SC to review Sereno ouster

Rappler.com reports: “Fourteen senators filed a resolution calling on the Supreme Court to review its decision granting the quo warranto petition and ousting Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno. […] ‘[To] express the sense of the Senate of the Philippines to uphold the Constitution on the matter of removing a Chief Justice from office, and respectfully urge the Supreme Court to review its decision to nullify the appointment of Maria Lourdes Sereno as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the Philippines,’ the resolution said. The resolution, citing the 1987 Constitution, said the Supreme Court’s decision ‘sets a dangerous precedent that transgresses the exclusive powers of the legislative branch to initiate, try, and decide all cases of impeachment.'”
