副总统莎拉·杜特尔特的律师称众议院“迷你审判”违宪

副总统莎拉·杜特尔特的辩护团队将众议院司法委员会进行的“迷你审判”定性为违宪,此前她决定缺席两项剩余弹劾控诉的初步听证会。

在马尼拉举行的新闻发布会上,律师希拉·西森为副总统莎拉·杜特尔特及其16人法律团队拒绝众议院司法委员会邀请的选择进行了辩护。西森辩称,根据宪法,只有参议院拥有进行弹劾审判的唯一权力。西森表示:“虽然(宪法)第11条第3款第2段允许委员会举行听证会,以便在60个会议日内向众议院提交报告……但参议院并未赋予委员会任何权力或管辖权去进行任何形式的审判,无论是迷你审判还是全面审判,更不用说接收和审理任何证据。”她强调,众议院对任何审判缺乏管辖权,并反对在没有宪法授权的情况下搜集证据的行为。同为辩护律师的迈克尔·波阿确认,如果收到传票,他将出席听证会。波阿说:“我会等待传票,但我绝对愿意出席。我没有任何逃避的意图。”该团队正在挑战该小组的管辖权,尚未决定是否向最高法院提起诉讼。目前留在国内的杜特尔特表示,她优先考虑援助菲律宾民众,而非出席听证会。她指出已提交了《预备性答辩状》,敦促以证据不足为由驳回控诉,并将这些听证会描述为第三次毫无必要的“钓鱼式”取证,且没有要求其个人必须出席。她补充道:“政治再次被置于数百万因高物价而遭受苦难的菲律宾民众的福祉之上。”
