Mexico's Supreme Court Narrowly Rejects Proposal to Invalidate Judicial Overhaul

Mexico's Supreme Court has dismissed a proposal to invalidate a contentious judicial overhaul, sparing the new president from having to choose between recognizing a court decision to strike down the overhaul or aligning with her party’s leaders. The proposal, which aimed to bypass decades of precedent to nullify parts of Mexico’s Constitution, was narrowly rejected in a split decision. This outcome raises doubts about the Court's independence and highlights the need for judicial reform. The ruling party's appetite for control and the extent to which it will go to satisfy it have been illustrated in this saga.
