Not the person you are responding to, but just as an FYI: in Brazil right now there are certain groups attempting to stamp political motivation on the decisions of the upper judiciary and discredit its impartiality and capacity to judge.
The reason most of these politicians and alies are acting like this is fear.
See what they just tried to vote a couple of months ago:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitutional_Amendment_of_Sh...
The popular name of this amendment should tell you everything you need to know about its purpose.
There were several large protests before the vote on the Senate, and before it was eventually ruled unconstitutional by a commission from the Senate.
It is also important to note members of Congress and Senate already have a certain level of immunity in Brazil and can only be judged by the Supreme Federal Court, and this would further restrict the ability of the judiciary branch to give sentences to politicians convicted of any serious wrongdoing.
Last, but not least, I can tell you that you quoting the CNN article would probably ruffle some feathers from (most of) the same ones questioning the Supreme Court. I speak from experience.
