> There is no law the court can do anything it wants, arrest anyone for any reason. There is no expiry date for their term.

The judiciary does not write the laws, only applies them.

I'm quite sure that removing a tracking bracelet and trying to flee is against the law.

While it's true that the judiciary holds lots of weight in Brazil, let's not forget that different branches fighting over their boundaries is the norm in any functioning government and democracy.

We're merely more used to the judiciary bending to the executive, Brazil's an exception on this.

The Magnitsky sanctioned judge is known to have made "suggestions" to our elected representatives regarding the "fake news" censorship laws that were proposed years ago. Our lawmakers rejected that law, and the courts abused their power to ram the regulations down our throats anyway via their own "resolutions".

Brazilian judiciary is ripe with "activist" judges. Every single act of "judicial activism" is a coup against the brazilian population. Not a single brazilian voted for these judges.

The fact that you think a "magnitsky" sanction means anything is hilarious.
