Well, the reason why the President gets a lot of personal brick bats is precisely because he also loves to demonize anyone who disagrees with him The way he treated the SC is just simply childish tantrum. Not well thought out. And this reveals about his persona. He has been personalizing his politics. To him, it is all about him, his moral groundings, his uprightness, and all of us his critics are just remnants of Marcos (which I find too offensive since I am not). The debate should have been about the law. But right now, it is about that nebulous, impersonal, highly relative notion of morally upright. How to make the debate substantive? Let PNoy start by admitting he is also fallible, and that the law is what is supreme, and if we have problems with it, we change it. Tired of name calling? Well, tell the President to show by example, lead us not into temptation, and deliver us from argumentrum ad hominem.
