- Bloomberg reports that the Senate has voted to prohibit courts from challenging or suspending constitutional changes approved by Congress, an attempt to shield various reforms from Supreme Court scrutiny as it reviews a controversial overhaul of the country’s judiciary.
- The Senate approved the proposed constitutional amendment by a vote of 85 to 41, clearing the 2/3 majority required.
- The amendment will now be sent to the lower house for a vote, where the ruling coalition has a supermajority.
