When it seemed resigned to take over the sandals of Marco Aurélio de Mello as the “expired vote” of the Court, he left his mark in the most important judgment in the history of the Supreme Court.
If even the Blind Justice statue at the head of the First Class Cuts in the trial of the coup plot, by the minister even impressed their enthusiasts in the defendants’ defenses.
In addition, the frankly adverse tone remembered, with the caveat that he sought to avoid personalizing obvious criticism of the rapporteur, great moments of clashes in the plenary, as when Joaquim Barbosa almost went to the roads in fact with Ricardo Lewandowski in the monthly trial.
As expected, making its contribution to the maintenance reserved to the Supreme in Brazilian political polarization, something that can be attributed to the activism of the court or the institutional weaknesses of the country, to the taste of the critic.
Certainly, Fux, without going into legal merit. The duo Eduardo Bolsonaro and Paulo Figueiredo incense him as Salvador da Toga, and the deputy made a point of emphasizing his campaign with the government to punish Supreme Ministers who do not relieve to the former president now in the defendants’ bank.
Eduardo from the White House advisor Jason Miller, one of his contacts in the government, in which the American praised Fux’s vote. Earlier, the deputy recalled that all who are not next to his father should be the target of Draconian Lei Magnitsky already applied to Moraes.
As is well known, only Fux and those nominated by the Supreme, André Mendonça and Kassio Nunes Marques, have been spared criticism and cancellation of an American visa. Eduardo wants more, and perhaps the secretary of state, Marco Rubio, listen to him.
This in the plenary of the Supreme, which so far had been leaving his disagreements aside in the name of the institution’s defense. If Moraes has the support of the presidency of power and its dean, which today form a corporate majority, the pressure of those contrary to their sheriff, should rise and ensure more fun on TV Justice.
In this sense, pockets may be overwhelmed and Fux, it will certainly be applauded when strolling through some regions of its Rio de Janeiro or that will continue accessible. But the most immediate impact of this Wednesday (10) does not seem to be able to spread in favor of the central object of the crisis, Jair Bolsonaro.
If you are convicted and get imprisonment, as it seems inevitable, nothing will make your life easier in the short term. It may even leave, but the process in the Senate will be quite different and finally there is jurisprudence to overthrow it if it is so provoked from the Supreme.
Obviously, the court is known for its change of positions, but nothing suggests that it will see something beyond the expected divergence and now crystallized with Fux’s vote. The same can be said about a possible pardon given by a pocket president who will take the place of (PT) in 2027.
It remains, of course, the change in the composition of the Supreme until 2030 and the opportunity to analyze the presumed conviction of the former president. Fux’s vote, in essence, is important for defenses at this point, the competence of the Court, which helped Lula return to the political game after leaving the prison.
Again, there are obstacles. Bolsonaro will remain ineligible by 2030 in the event of a future criminal forgiveness, as he was convicted by the Electoral Court. With this, the calendar and the removal of the scene that now remain the same, despite the moment of joy that Fux injected into the pocket hosts.
