The federal deputy Sergio Gutiérrez Luna (Morena) presented an initiative to reform the Organic Law of the Judicial Branch of the Federation so that the scope and powers of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN) are clearly established.
This reaffirms that the only controversies that this jurisdictional body must resolve are those that arise within it or within the Judicial Branch, this, after the Supreme Court ruled to review the Reform of the Judicial Branch.
“In particular, the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation will not have the power to hear controversies related to reforms or additions to the Political Constitution of the United Mexican States,” said the vice president of the Board of Directors.
Gutiérrez Luna stressed that the democratic legitimation of the majority of the people represented in Congress reformed the Constitution with the rules that are established, “it is unacceptable that the Court attempts to assert itself more than the will of the people to defend its privileges.”
The Morena deputy highlighted that the Power to reform the Constitution cannot be reviewed by the Supreme Court since it represents the people.
“It must be stated in the law that eight people cannot suppress the will of the people. “The Supreme Court does not admit that the majority and the decision is in Congress and that a decision has already been made,” he noted.
He considered that the reform is essential to avoid ambiguous interpretations about the powers of the Supreme Court and reaffirms the autonomy of the Judicial Branch and guarantees that its actions do not interfere with the functions of the Permanent Constituent Power, in charge of carrying out the constitutional reforms.
The modification also reinforces the institutional stability of the Judiciary, by preventing the SCJN from being used in disputes of a political or ideological nature, he maintained.
“Constitutional reforms, as expressions of popular sovereignty, cannot be the subject of judicial controversy before the Court,” the legislator pointed out.
Gutiérrez Luna explained that the draft decree highlights the need to clearly delimit the powers of the SCJN, guaranteeing that its function is limited to the resolution of internal disputes, which will contribute to transparency and legal certainty.
