The House Committee on Justice treated the impeachment complaint against Supreme Court Associate Justice Marvic Leonen as a mere scrap of paper as it voted unanimously to junk it following a determination that the complaint is insufficient in form.
With all 37 committee members voting in the affirmative, the motion to dismiss the case filed by journalist Edwin Cordevilla was upheld. Deputy Speaker and Cagayan de Oro City 2nd District Rep. Rufus Rodriguez raised the motion as he cited numerous reasons why the complaint should be rejected.
Many of those who attended the first and last hearing of the impeachment case were officials of the Lower House who are clothed with authority to vote as ex-officio members of the House panel chaired by Leyte 3rd District Rep. Vicente Veloso.
