You told a lot of fake things, so I'll just point out the first obvious thing:

> In Brazil, a judge cannot open an inquiry.

That's false. You can open an inquiry, if is an attack against the Supreme Court itself.

Article 43. In the event of a criminal offense at the headquarters or branch of the Court, the President shall initiate an inquiry if it involves an authority or person subject to its jurisdiction, or delegate this task to another Minister.

You should work on your reading comprehension. I will quote myself:

> - The inquiry violates the Supreme Court’s own internal regiment. That regiment, which was created in 1969, says that the Supreme Court can open inquiries for crimes committed “within its premises”. This was superseded by the 1988 constitution, which transfers the investigatory function to the judiciary police and the Federal Prosecution Service (Ministério Público). Still, even if you ignore that and go by what the internal regiment says, clearly the facts under investigation by Inquiry 4874 have not happened within the premises of the Supreme Court. To justify that, its justices have extended de definition of what consists the premises the Supreme Court to be the whole Brazilian territory, with the argument that crimes committed on the internet have a “diffuse character”.

Does “the headquarters or branch of the Court” include X?

  • "the headquarters or branch of the Court" happens when someone attacks the Supreme Court, especially as what happened in January 8 when they destroyed the place trying on a coup attempt.

    • The Inquiry was opened in 2019. It cannot have anything to do with January 8th because it precedes it.

      Were the congressmen and journalists who have been censored in the headquarters of the Supreme Court? Are people who criticize the actions of an out of control judge within the premises of the Supreme Court? Has Elon Musk ever been in the Brazilian Supreme Court?

      The Brazilian Supreme Court maintains that the whole internet is within their premises. Be honest, do you think this is reasonable?
