¿Qué es ser juez contitucional?

With the figure of constitutional justices we are not talking about a Trojan horse to state the universal rights dictatorship, but about an instrument for understanding our own national constitutions. As these latter have been evolving, we see that in the Colombian case between the constituent offspring and the following ones arises a relationship as the one between parents (“founding parents”) and successor children. Each heir’s offspring has the responsibility of “improving and perpetuating”not throwing caution to the winds— the received legacy. Decisions of 5 to 4 or, in the Italian Constitutional Court of 8 to 7, always leave a dissatisfaction feeling as that of not totally accomplished duty. With these types of decisions, constitutional courts are exposed to political critic, which means having arbitrary conducted as little parliaments.
