Conrado Hübner Mendes Defends Ending Supreme Federal Court's Unilateral Law Suspension Power

Conrado Hübner Mendes, a constitutional law professor at the University of São Paulo (USP), defended ending the Supreme Federal Court's authority to unilaterally suspend laws, arguing that such a power concentrates excessive decision-making in the judiciary and undermines the legislative process. He proposed that any suspension of a law should require a collective decision by the full court, with clear procedural safeguards and a time limit for final judgment.
