Changes can happen in a very well-planned way at the Supreme Federal Court.
By the end of next week, President Jair Bolsonaro should announce the name of André Mendonça, or Abraham Weintraub for the STF with the departure of Marco Aurélio.
André Mendonça, who was in Porto Alegre on Friday, is terribly evangelical, words always said by Jair Bolsonaro.
Abraham Weintraub is also another name that Brazilians are suddenly asking the president to put in place of Marco Aurélio.
With Weintraub in the STF, Brazil could take great strides towards a conservative victory and the checkmate will be cast on the black capes' table.
Former minister Abraham is not a jurist, can he take up a position on the STF?
-YES
Let's start with the prerequisites. What is required to become a minister of the STF? Well, one of the requirements is to be a Brazilian born and to be between 35 and 65 years old. You must pursue a career in law and have notable knowledge in this area, but there is no need to be a judge, a lawyer or even have an academic background in the area of law. To become a minister of the STF, you also need to have an unblemished reputation, that is, an upright, uncorrupted and "unblemished" reputation. In addition, the position of minister is for life (lasting or intended to last a lifetime), so you will only lose your position if you resign, take compulsory retirement (which must happen by the age of 75) or are impeached.
