That's rich coming from judges who engaged in blatantly unconstitutional political censorship. They're the guys whose literal job is to apply our constitution but ironically they're the least qualified to do it. Not only are they not morally qualified, they are also not technically qualified. In Brazil, judges are minted by competition, they are tested via a process known as concurso público which roughly translates as public contest. Law professionals study hard, take the tests and the best are selected to become judges. Essentially, every qualified lawyer wants these well paid positions and they compete for them. Not these supreme court guys though. They're essentially randoms, appointed to the court by the president. In Brazil, the real judges are subordinate to these political appointees. So completely backwards even laymen can see the discrepancy, they even have a saying for it: in Brazil, the utility pole pisses on the dog. The guy this article is talking about? He went to public events to brag about how he personally abused his supreme court powers to defeat Bolsonaro. It's just incredible to see all this play out in real time.
