> Brazil is a dictatorship of the judiciary. Maybe it's not a "brutal" dictatorship but it is a dictatorship.

Do you have anything to back that claim up beyond your usual 'I read the Brazilian constitution'?

Yes, you may have read the constitution and you might even be very smart, however what you don't comprehend is that law is not code, nor is it everyday English in spite of laws being written in English. Interpreting the law requires training, experience and context. There is a reason why law is a separate field of study and there are licensing requirements.

If you're still convinced of your legal smarts, try volunteering at a legal aid clinic based on your reading of the constitution and the Brazilian criminal code. It will very quickly teach you just how little you actually know in this area.
