  • By merit I didn’t mean it would be a simple selection process. It would involve many aspects which wouldn’t fit in a comment. Say, merit, competence, academic achievements, career results, the list goes on. You will always have the argument of “and who polices the police” and so on and to that I’d say the selection process would have to be such that it would account for that to mitigate it somehow.

    It is an odd relationship. One where only personal interest plays a role. Their job isn’t to “bend” the interpretation of the law to please their executive friend/ally. It’s like expecting the police to arrest only right wing protesters because left wingers are supporters of the current government and therefore get a free pass. That’s not how the judicial system is meant to work. That to me sounds more like another legislative branch with judicial powers and that’s no bueno my friend, no matter how you spin it.




  • Lula wasn’t acquitted though… He got out due to a technicality as a result of a “new” interpretation of the law. (read some level of corruption here) His last trial (after being found guilty 3 times) allegedly was supposed to happen in Brasília but instead happened in Paraná. The due process would be for the whole ordeal to restart but since he’s over 65 years old, there’s some lenience in the law that impedes the process to resume. This does NOT nullify anything that was proven in the other 3 trials (and also the 4th which was what put him in jail. There’s a lot of backroom deals happening all over government and the supreme court “allegedly” is in on the pie. Bozonaro had the chance to keep this corrupt ex-president in jail and forfeited it, himself being another corrupt president. But hey, love won didn’t it?! =)
