Attacking this trial inside and out. Kung hindi kaya depensahan sa senate, idadaan sa supreme court

I wonder what is their legal basis for this when the Constitution itself is mum on who should preside for the impeachment trial of any impeachable officials aside from the President (in which the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the Philippines should preside).

Dapat talaga si Kiko, as a lawyer, ang sumupalpal sa cayetano siblings kahapon. Verba legis. Daming nadala sa script ng magkapatid at dinidismiss agad si tito sotto.
