His appointment to the Federal Supreme Court was the high point of PT’s omnipotence during 3.0. His rejection marked the moment when the . The following day, with , the Supreme Court’s heel was broken.
Breaking a heel is one thing, walking without it is almost impossible. The best solution is to take off the other foot.
If Lula had indicated none of this would have happened. He would have been approved, Lula would have been happy and no one would have been sad. Okay, but if Matisse had left for Brazil in 1940, the museums would have Matisse’s Mulatas.
Messiah was the product of the Palace’s consensus, a dangerous thing, because this appreciation almost always has nothing to do with life outside. In October last year, shortly after the minister’s retirement, Messias was already campaigning. The game would have been played if Lula hadn’t added unnecessary insults.
Having passed over Rodrigo Pacheco, Lula showed his preference for Messias, even though he was aware of the annoyance of Alcolumbre and his entourage. He knew since December that the Union’s attorney general could be rejected. Then, like today, he had the comfort of crying softly.
Since December, the government has been haunted by poor indicators in the polls, a harbinger of difficulties with Congress.
In a trick of luck, Messias was rejected on a Wednesday and, the following day, Congress overturned Lula’s veto on the refreshment given to those convicted of the 2022/2023 coup plot. There was confirmation of a moment of pessimism by General Golbery do Couto e Silva (1911-1987), a wizard at the end of the dictatorship:

The defeat of Messias was a defeat for the government, and the lifting of the veto on the coup plotters’ refreshment was a defeat for the omnipotence of the Supreme Court. The ministers, some of whom wear stiletto heels higher than those of the commissioners, handed out heavy sentences to January 8 rioters.
Just remember the judgment by the Second Panel of . She wrote, with lipstick, “Perdeu, Mané” on the statue of Justice in Praça dos Três Poderes.

Débora ended up serving her sentence at home.
This mess of rigor and leniency reflects the legal chaos fueled by the court. When it comes to a lady, mother of two children, the question sounds simple. The complexity of things changes when the STF annuls million-dollar fines and confessions from contractors, grinding some of the results of Lava Jato.
By sentencing the hairdresser to 14 years, the sentences were mixed up, and in the dosimetry puzzle the former president and the generals of the coup plot ended up taking a ride. The rigor of omnipotence paved the way for leniency.
(It is worth remembering that in January 1970, when the dictatorship was going through its bloody period, a military court sentenced eight of the kidnappers of American ambassador Charles Elbrick to eight years in prison.)
