> It is not the job of the judiciary to determine whether a law should or shouldn't exist
The brazilian judiciary legislates on a daily basis.

Funny how someone implicitly reveals his political affiliation with a short sentence.
> Instead of applying the law, the supreme court decided to legislate...
Actual quote from an actual laywer I knew, one of my professors, around 10 years ago.
My legal medicine professor, who was a doctor and a cop, was onto something as well:
> Doctors think they're gods, judges know.
Here's another interesting thing an actual lawyer once told me to my face:
> Judges = gods in this country, and supreme court judges even more so.
This is nothing new, it's been going on for decades and decades. Anyone who deals with legal matters can see it. Start observing and you too will see the pattern of judicial activism. Every single occurrence of it is a small coup against the representatives we actually elected.
