Overview
- Horacio Rosatti argued that one of the hardest judicial tasks is addressing omissions by the Executive or Congress without breaching separation of powers.
- He defended the Supreme Court decision that altered the Consejo de la Magistratura’s composition, framing it as a constitutionally bounded remedy.
- Citing the Halabi precedent, he outlined the Court’s method: invalidate the operative rule, set a deadline for lawmakers, and, if unmet, apply prior legislation rather than create new law.
- Rosatti stressed that judges, legislators, and the Executive are all subject to the Constitution, which he called the system’s binding norm.
- His remarks followed recent rulings on federal food distribution and Delta fires that have sharpened debate over institutional limits, and were delivered at an event honoring Martín Ugalde with senior legal figures in attendance.
