This man lives in Miami. He should be a candidate for the presidency of the United States, not Brazil.

If what they publicise about him is true AND if he really gets elected as a president; there won't be any harm in taking the masses seriously [for the FIRST time].

Barbosa was the first member of the Supreme Court to tear up the Constitution in 2007, condemning Jose Dirceu, a minister of state, without evidence.

Since then, the Dictatorship of the Judiciary has begun.

Seems that the “Brasileiro Lulla Idiota” is really upset by Barbosa.....he should be thankful that he only condemned Dirceu in the “mensalão” (condemned again NOW, in the “Lavajato” - who'd have 'thunk' it ?) and not the 9-fingered toad.

OTHERWISE:
