Day 3 : Analysis

It was Day 3 yesterday but the blog did not provide an analysis of what transpired at the trial.

Honestly, the surface has not been scratched yet. The documents and debates do not prove anything at this point. It is only when the public documents have been marked and testimonies of witnesses are offered on both sides when the court can more or less be guided in arriving at a verdict.

For our part, the general public, we can have our own assessment and conclusions. But we cannot discuss those matters in public for being sub judice - meaning - "you are not the judge so do not judge before the judge".

The real issue that seems to have permeated the proceedings is not about the subpoena or the SALN, or any other - but it is about this question - which of the courts is higher than the other, the Supreme Court or the Impeachment Court?
