65173 rulings in 230 days by 11 people. That's 25.76 rulings per person per day if we ignore holidays and weekends.

They can't possibly read the cases, is this a kangaroo court?




Yes.

For example, one time the federal police arrested a corrupt banker (Daniel Dantas). Somehow the Supreme Court was in session literally 4:00 am to immediately make a ruling that the banker should be released...

Some of the current judges were literally lawyers of the current ruling party, there was even cases where they judged cases where they were themselves the lawyer in that case.

I could mention more things but that is an invitation to get arrested.


No. Each minister has ~40 judges - not counting other staffers, law clerks, specialists, chief of staff - under them

It's standard, legal and completely expected for the Justice to dispose a general "guidance", delegate all the work and approve the sentencing based on minutes

A lot of people posting here are clearly right-leaning Brazilian voters with a bone to pick.


> Each minister has ~40 judges - not counting other staffers, law clerks, specialists, chief of staff - under them

Not true. Each minister can pick only 3 assistant judges. There are only 38 assistant judges for the whole Supreme Court.

From the Supreme Court's website. I combined auxiliary, instructor and substitute judges as assistant judges.

You are right. They are "law clerks" only, I thought there were many more judges.

Doesn't change the fact that these are not decisons being hammered down on a whim by dictators that "didn't read" them
