"Comedy of Errors" in both chambers of Congress

The Freeman

|

June 25, 2025

One of William Shakespeare's plays called "The Comedy of Errors" has become so popular the title itself became an idiomatic expression, showing an event or series of events made ridiculous by too many mistakes, errors, and wrong moves.

- Atty. Josephus B. Jimenez

What's happening between the House of Representatives and the Senate these last six months is fast evolving into a Comedy of Errors exacerbated by the motives behind many of the characters' words, actions, and decisions.

And so, Falsus in Uno, Falsus in Omnibus. Mistake in One, Mistake in All. The results of a process filled with errors could be nothing more than erroneous. As a Filipino citizen, member of civil society, taxpayer, lawyer, and as a voter, I call senators and congressmen for the many errors they have committed.

First error, and grandmother of all other errors, by the way they behaved and still behaving, acted and still acting, and have spoken and still speaking, it's apparent most members of both Houses of Congress participated in impeachment without reading and comprehending the letter and the spirit of the 1987 Constitution, specifically Article XI on the Accountability of Public Officers.
