My Mother for the Supreme Court

The satirical article presents the author's mother, D. Conceição, as a candidate for the Supreme Federal Court. The piece checks the constitutional requirements for the position: unblemished reputation, notable legal knowledge, native-born Brazilian, and being between 35 and 70 years old. D. Conceição would meet the first three requirements but would fail the age criterion, as she would be 96 years old. Additionally, she passed away in 2022, which prevents any candidacy, as one must be alive to run for a seat on the STF. The author acknowledges that, aside from these details, his mother would be perfect for the position and even for currently holding the presidency of the court. The piece is presented as exclusive subscriber content.
