The country's four Supreme Court justices - down to that number because the RW opposition has blocked the replacement of the missing fifth one by the current center-left president - all have serious corruption cases against them in their home towns (stalled, of course).
Moreover, and among other things, they've been taking to invalidating longstanding congressionally-passed laws - replacing them with the very laws these bills replaced, covering for federal judges that were never confirmed (while forcing others who were, out), and even determining revenue-sharing percentages (like in the U.S., a strictly congressional prerogative).
So naturally, during the ongoing impeachment hearings the RW'ers walked out of the committee room - some kicking chairs and yelling profanities.
Why? Because the Supreme Court was always their end-run around any legislation they didn't like - as well as the one guarantee that their archenemy, Vice President Cristina Kirchner, could be railroaded no matter what.
"No evidence - but no doubt," as the latest ruling against her put it.
Suffice it to say, Trump reportedly expressed admiration for Argentina's discredited judiciary in his recent meetings with this kleptocrat pal Macri.
You can just hear him: "I wish we could have that here, Mauricio - that, I can tell you."
