> What you said just proves my point. You're happy because you perceive this to your advantage. No, I'm happy because our institutions are working. What I said doesn't support your point at all. > But this judicial power works both ways. In the future they can use this power to do whatever they want. If, in the future, another government does something remotely similar to what the current government did, I sure hope they (the judiciary) do. > True, that's why it is called a democracy. The government will be legitimate only until the next election. It will be legitimate until when it is no longer legitimate, which can happen - and did happen - before the next election. > It's not a group of judges that can determine the legitimacy of a government. I agree. Thankfully, it is not "a group of judges" that are leading the impeachment. It our Parliament and our civil society, including the Bar Association of Brazil. > The fact that you consider me a PT supporter shows that you just care about your political position No, it shows that I know how to read. How does the obvious, undeniable fact that you support the current government prove that I only care about my political position? > not about the larger point around this issue. There are people pro and anti-goverment who see the big problem that is being created by the Brazilian judicial system. It doesn't matter what government is in power for this to be a problem. I'm sorry, but I do not believe you. There are way more similarities than differences between this impeachment process and Collor's impeachment process. Were you as concerned back then? Nothing has happened now that wasn't scrutinized by multiple layers of the judiciary. Nothing has happened that wasn't discussed for hours, days, weeks on end by both our chambers. Everything against the government is strongly supported by evidence in a variety of formats. I don't think you are honestly concerned about our political system. You are concerned about the survival of this particular administration. Well, our democracy is maturing, our judiciary is maturing, and thankfully, though sadly, our President - who has committed "crimes de responsabilidade" - is going down. Edit: removed harsh language.
