Prof. Dan Gatmaytan: Precedents cited by SolGen Calida do not ensure CJ Sereno’s removal

Excerpt from Lian Buan’s report in Rappler: https://www.rappler.com/nation/197532-supreme-court-chief-justice-sereno-comment-quo-warranto

“Constitutional law professor Dan Gatmaytan said the precedents cited by Calida in his petition “do not ensure the Chief Justice will be removed from office.”

“They still have to overcome the constitutional provision that justices can only be removed by impeachment,” Gatmaytan said.”

Professor Gatmaytan was asked for his comment on the a quo warranto complaint filed in the Supreme Court against Chief Justice Sereno, by Solicitor General Jose Calida.
