[1,2] If a lawyer is defending a criminal does that mean he's aiding them or somehow part of their criminal organization? It seems you don't understand how law works. The guy has been a high profile lawyer for decades before he became SJ minister. You want him to be poor?!

The article I’ve linked lists are least five reasons his actions are illegal, with the respective citations explaining why they are illegal. Just because you chose to ignore that, doesn’t make it unsubstantiated.

> He has an injunction that allows him to "censure" people and media

At least you admit Brazil is under a censorship regime. Dictatorships are always backed by the law.

By the way, any injunction that contradicts the constitution is by definition illegal.

Unless you want to have a childish view of reality you have to agree that if it's done under the law there's not much you can do. Our history is filled with such cases. From all sides of the political spectrum. The proclamation of the republic, the Getulio dictatorship, the military dictatorship, Dilma's impeachment, etc...

No one cares what their little "injunction" says. "Censure" is unconstitutional. That's all that should matter. The fact this is allowed to stand is proof that the supreme court is above the constitution, above brazilian law. A state of exception.
