There is always some mystery in which commands and much sacred in the judging. At first, perfected the Scholastic that judgment that all authority comes from God. With what did nothing but raise the theological argument that the explanation from the most primitive men gave him the enigma of power. To send one over another is not enough hard argument of force. So Callicles and Thrasymachus always lose the debate with Socrates. But harder still is the legitimization of power to judge. Any act of righteousness is to be an expression of divinity, or nothing.

The judges have always been the priests of sacred worship and magnificent. And when they look too human, we must take its mission as great device, to keep them untouched. In all the myths and legends, beautiful prelude to the story, the judge has the necessary condition of being the wisest and most just. And anyway, the best of the tribe.

If the Supreme Court does not know all this, at least the senses. What is checked when the devil will flee as the harsh reality that it carried and the Colombian people know too much. Why not allow them to speak of that Ascencio Reyes, who was so obnoxious closeness. From certain Bacchic feasts, back in a famous apartment Tequendama Residences, through all the celebrations and treats, and culminating with the degrading walks we know, all was Ascencio Reyes, but the Court took the basic collection of hiding.

The flight and Neiva feast in honor of Yesid Ramirez, were made possible by the generosity of those who Ascencio and funded to make gifts so pleasing to the Court. In Sincelejo, of course corralejas occasion of the January 20, and is compounded by the sympathetic Giorgio Sale. The procession will then Barranquilla Carnival and enjoy it closes in the wine cellar, the beloved patron Giorgio and other more surprising, Salvatore Mancuso.

Each of these trips, rather than a crime, it is a shame, that, added to the history of partying and gifts, Italian leather boots and Swiss watch magnate to make up the deplorable picture. The rest is not fully known. But it feels.
The history of the Court Ascencio is rebuilt easily. The Giorgio will leave a void, because the records of its multiple inputs, not to jail he deserved, but the Supreme Court, was cleared of electronic records. Go!
De Giorgio Mancuso and there is not much to say, because they pay their crimes in prisons in Italy and the United States. Ascencio, celebrating purchases of real estate with two judges, that his name appears on public documents mixed with that of José María Ortiz, Chepe Ortiz, extradited for drug issues, that one of its members, Consuelo Collazos, is buyer Gilberto goods Garavito, "leader of an organization that sent drugs from Colombia to the United States" and that the company famous Centaur is mentioned with Triana Fabio Peña, a partner in his brother Erman, captured by the DAS belonging to a international drug trafficking network.

There is in our judges with spotless, legal copies, Colombia forum luminaries, shining clear merit and conduct. We do not understand how to keep this silence solidarity.

The Court violated Colombian law every day. Overstepping their functions obvious. Break the tutelary principles of procedural law of the last two centuries. In this drama, and in the background of the politicization of their decisions, there is a masquerade, old and poor resource to cover wounds and miseries.
