INSISTING that her rights were violated, opposition Senator Leila de Lima has asked the Supreme Court (SC) to reconsider its resolution dismissing her habeas data petition which seeks to protect her from President Rodrigo Duterte’s continued threats and verbal attacks.

In a 20-page motion for reconsideration filed on Wednesday by counsel Manuel Diokno, de Lima argued that the resolution “has twisted the doctrine of presidential immunity out of all sense of meaning”.
