In closing, the message of the House, as the representatives of the people, is the same as that given by Oliver Cromwell when he dismissedEngland’s Long Parliament on April 20 of 1653. Before God and country, we say: “It is high time for us to put an end to you sitting in that place, which you have dishonored by your contempt of all virtue, and defiled by your practice of every vice, you are an enemy to good government, as you have sold your country for a mess of pottage, and like Judas Escariot betrayed your God for a few pieces of gold. Depart I say, and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go!”
- - “In the name of God, go!” Opening statement for the Prosecution by Rep. Niel C. Tupas Jr.
Well, actually, Judas Iscariot betrayed Jesus Christ for 3O pieces of SILVER NOT GOLD. Read the books well. If one made a mistake for this simple, common information, what more those that require research.
Is this a reflection of the prosecution team’s unpreparedness?
