In a recent ruling, Brazil's Supreme Federal Court (STF) has clarified the interpretation of constitutional amendments, a move that has been met with praise from Senator Randolfe Rodrigues. Rodrigues has hailed the decision as a 'brake on disorder', arguing that it will prevent the misuse and abuse of the amendment process.

The ruling clarifies that constitutional amendments must be approved by a qualified majority of three-fifths of both houses of Congress, and that they cannot be used to circumvent existing constitutional provisions. This ruling is seen as a significant step towards ensuring the stability and integrity of the Brazilian constitution.

Rodrigues, a vocal critic of the previous government's use of constitutional amendments, believes that the STF's decision will help to restore balance and order to the political process. He argues that the ruling will make it more difficult for future governments to enact sweeping changes without the necessary consensus and support.
