	The House Failed Moral and Political Test - Ka Satur "The people's hope for truth and change has inexorably passed on from Congress to the Parliament of the Streets.” "The House leadership is obviously disinterested in the truth. Instead they preferred a cover-up. They harp on the Rule of Law but they obviously violated, misused and misinterpreted the Constitution and other laws in their pursuit of protecting the No. 1 Cheat, Liar, Thief and Human Rights Violator.” "Thus, the House leadership failed this signal moral and political test that sought their setting aside partisanship in favor of the greater good and the demands for truth, justice and public accountability. The events since yesterday confirmed yet again the widespread public perception of the House as a most reactionary institution, a chamber of patronage, a safe haven of and for the worst traditional politicians, protector of rogues, if not a rogue gallery itself.” "Indeed, it is now up to the people – the true final arbiter and source of all power – to determine the fate of Mrs. Arroyo. The President may be able to buy and influence the House but she cannot fool and escape the wrath of the people." References: Rep. Satur C.
