#2Brazil is a dictatorship in disguise. Supreme court is the executive branch. There is no law the court can do anything it wants, arrest anyone for any reason. There is no expiry date for their term.
As a Brazilian I can’t see a future where the people win. It’s not even close it’s full control and all of the power is concentrated in the government upper branch.
The system is designed to keep them in power there is nothing that can be done just leave the country

As a Brazilian, I'm seeing a lot of people happy and thinking the justice system finally is working like it was supposed to. Some people are complaining they are being a bit harsh but better a harsh justice system than what we had in the past.

I'm not from Brazil, so I'm curious if you're saying the court broke some law by imposing house arrest on Bolsonaro? This part of the article makes it seem like it was done pretty legally.

Dominance of courts does not necessarily mean rule of law.
Courts are human institutions fallible to all sorts of human weaknesses. Rule of law is a more abstract concept.
Would you subject your startup or your personal property to Brazilian courts voluntarily as a foreigner? If not, maybe you don't trust them either.

#8Brazil has turned into a nightmare dictatorship that is extremely abusive to human rights.

Not the person you are responding to, but just as an FYI: in Brazil right now there are certain groups attempting to stamp political motivation on the decisions of the upper judiciary and discredit its impartiality and capacity to judge.
The reason most of these politicians and alies are acting like this is fear.
See what they just tried to vote a couple of months ago:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitutional_Amendment_of_Sh...
The popular name of this amendment should tell you everything you need to know about its purpose.
There were several large protests before the vote on the Senate, and before it was eventually ruled unconstitutional by a commission from the Senate.
It is also important to note members of Congress and Senate already have a certain level of immunity in Brazil and can only be judged by the Supreme Federal Court, and this would further restrict the ability of the judiciary branch to give sentences to politicians convicted of any serious wrongdoing.
Last, but not least, I can tell you that you quoting the CNN article would probably ruffle some feathers from (most of) the same ones questioning the Supreme Court. I speak from experience.

America is batshit insane enough these days that Bolsonaro could flee to the American embassy and Trump would let him stay.
