In October 2024, during a session of the plenary of Mexico’s Supreme Court, Justice Lenia Batres said that it would be “absurdo” (absurd) to vote again on a question the court had already resolved. Chief Justice Norma Piña asked that such adjectives not be used in the plenary. (Video in Spanish.)
Batres answered that she knew of no rule that barred the word. The only limit, she said, was not to disrespect colleagues personally. She closed: “Respetuosamente, siempre, ministra” (Respectfully, always, Justice).
