| There are 11 or 12 supreme court judges. While one or two may present some "tastes" here and there, overall, all of them together are doing a good job til now. Gilmar Mendes sometimes free their rich pals from prison here and there, but in other matters hes not that bad. Dias Toffoli also do some shady things here and there but some bad things he did got reverted back by the other judges. I dont think is fair to say they "represent the other side", first because this gives a dichotomistic way to see things that are far too simplistic. Also because as a Brazilian too, im very thankful for what the two other powers; judiciary and legislative, have being doing to put the executive at least in check. The president is nuts, and the country is without any sort of leadership, and if it were only incompetence, but the problem is that this guy is trying by any means necessary to do a takeover move over the republic.. And if those other powers weren't in opposition, trying to defend the democratic institutions, we would be heading to some sort of Putin state. So of course that nothing is perfect, but overall i've been positively surprised about what they have done so far. |
