Renan Santos: And to be direct in my answer, we need a legalist profile.
Renan Santos: One that does not defend the principles known as neoconstitutionalist, which Barroso himself defended — the idea that a Supreme Court justice must innovate, move away from being a jurist who analyzes the Constitution and create laws through their decisions.
That created much of the distortions we see in the relationship between the judiciary and the legislature.
Renan Santos: So, figures who defend a classical perspective from the judiciary are the baseline: no law offices run by relatives or connected to them, no desire to take part in public debate.
Renan Santos: Highly discreet, no vanity, no wish to appear on social media.
