The Supreme Federal Court's (STF) recent ruling on constitutional amendments has been met with mixed reactions. Senator Randolfe Rodrigues, a vocal critic of the government's fiscal policies, has praised the decision, calling it a 'brake on fiscal recklessness'.

The ruling, which limits the government's ability to bypass the normal budgetary process through constitutional amendments, has been hailed by Rodrigues as a victory for fiscal responsibility. He argues that the government has been abusing the amendment process to avoid accountability and transparency in its spending.

However, critics of the ruling argue that it could hinder the government's ability to respond to unforeseen circumstances or emergencies. They also contend that the ruling could lead to a slowdown in economic growth, as the government may be less willing to invest in infrastructure and other projects that require constitutional amendments.
