Barroso Weighs Early Exit From Supreme Court, Then Corrects 'I Was a Judge' Slip

The justice made the comments days after ending his two-year term as court president.

Ministro deixou a presidência do STF na semana passada e vem sinalizando que pode se aposentar antes da idade limite.
Ministro afirmou que pensa em antecipar a aposentadoria, mas ainda sem cravar uma decisão.

Overview

  • Speaking in Salvador on Monday, he said he is evaluating the right time to leave the Court and that it could be sooner or later.
  • At a business event on Tuesday, he misspoke that he was a judge for 12 years, quickly corrected himself to say he still is, and noted he will attend the next session.
  • He said televised hearings shape how justices present their votes, which he described as directed to colleagues and to the public watching on TV Justiça.
  • He struck a farewell tone and, absent an early retirement, could remain on the bench until 2033 after being succeeded as president by Edson Fachin on September 29.
  • Responding to criticism over a May fundraiser at the iFood CEO’s home for a CNJ affirmative-action program, he argued the backlash reflects prejudice against the private sector.
