Is this more in line with Brazil's legal tradition, or are you arguing this from within a different jurisdiction?

Brazil had a USA sponsored dictatorship, and because of this has a anti dictatorship constitution. The current Supreme Court is ignoring a lot that constitution, and they even admit it and claim there are valid reasons to act that way.

For example: it is illegal to enact lockdowns without following a specific procedure. During pandemic the Supreme Court said health is more important than laws and gave an order/command to the executive branch to ignore the law and do lockdowns. The president at time complained and was immediately accused of being "genocidal" and "antidemocratic" for his criticism of this decision.
