Brazil is in the age of the supreme court. Politcians are irrelevant, it's the supreme court that runs the country. They have received a grand total of zero votes and yet they have usurped the powers of the legislative and executive branches of government, and even that of police.
The brazilian people pulled off a miracle earlier this month: we elected a right wing majority senate with the express purpose of impeaching all of those judge-kings and putting them in jail. All that remains now is to elect as president the son of the guy they relentlessly persecuted. I am confident that it will happen tomorrow. Next year looks promising.
