- jasonwatkinspdx 5y agoSo, I'm no lawyer down there, but this is how it was explained to me by a friend down there. What they're doing is within their constitutional mandate. It takes 5 cases to set a precedent, at which point the legislature is on a timer to take action and codify it into law. The 5 cases on this topic happened. The prohibition was found unconstitutional. The legislature has been dragging their feet for 3 years now, repeatedly asking for extensions. As the legislature has failed to act within their given deadline, the court has the right to refuse a further extension, and to take action themselves. This is not the court abusing it's power, this is the court protecting the constitutional rights of Mexican citizens, as they're exactly supposed to. You're projecting your own politics, I assume US based, on a totally different system. Don't do that.
