Talk:Supreme Federal Court

Judge retirement
Does anyone have a source saying why they retire at age 70? ObamaGirlMachine (talk) 18:24, 11 May 2008 (UTC)


 * The Constitution says they must retire at age 70 . See Article 93. I don't know why that is, though. There's currently a constitutional ammendment project which aims to change this to 75. Artur (talk) 16:30, 17 May 2008 (UTC)


 * I suggest next time you ask questions like this at the Wikipedia reference desk. You'll get much faster and more complete answers to questions like these there than if you ask them on articles' talk pages. Artur (talk) 16:41, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Uncritical "Criticism"
It is quite funny to read a complaint about the STF being excessively "political" in English. Whatever the faults of the Brazilian Justices, they certainly are infinitely less politicized than their American counterparts.

But the Brazilian opposition,

a) is capable of anything when it comes to slander the government; and

b) knows nothing about what it so fervently wishes to copy, ie, their puppetmasters in Washington. Ninguém (talk) 19:00, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Imagine writing that out with a straight face. It is massively corrupt. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:6C56:5A3F:D8BC:F189:D10E:AFB9:E2F0 (talk) 15:51, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

Bias
The court has been accused of corruption on numerous occasions (see Amazonwatch & Internationl rivers) so why no mention of it here? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.208.77.37 (talk) 02:40, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

Title
I think that more normal adjective order in English is "Federal Supreme Court", as for Switzerland, United Arab Emirates and Ethiopia. Also as used by Brazilian Government when writing in English, and simple Google search favours this by 2:1 (without excluding WP copies). Suggest article should be at Federal Supreme Court of Brazil.

Now the court's own page can't make its mind up! Ah well.. Davidships (talk) 18:54, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

FSC is English from US. From UK, is SFC. ✍A.WagnerC (talk) 01:36, 4 July 2023 (UTC)


 * Despite its name, the Britannica is an American encyclopaedia, not a British one. Its language style should not be seen as an authoritative rendition of British English. SchnitteUK (talk) 10:39, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

The STF calls itself the FSC in English when they published the 231-page 1988 Constitution in English. However, their website is still split right down the middle, with 14 results for "Supreme Federal Court", and 19 results for "Federal Supreme Court". To me, the two English terms identify the same referent but describe it differently: (Federal (Supreme Court)) answers the question, which supreme court, while (Supreme (Federal Court)) answers the question, which federal court (of which there are many.
