Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Jorge Subero Isa questioned the need to convene the National Council of Magistrates, especially since the Supreme Court’s benches are presently full. He told reporters that some legislators lack time even to read the newspapers and sometimes “they do not know what the Supreme Court is doing,” as every year all the judges in the country are evaluated to produce the data that is kept on file. Subero Isa added that since many of the legislators do not have access to the Internet and have no idea what the judicial branch is doing. Amid comments that some of the older judges on the Supreme Court needed to be replaced, the Chief Justice said that those judges over 75 years of age are not affected by the stipulations of the current law on the judiciary since they were on the bench before the law was instated. While Subero Isa admitted that the National Council of Magistrates could be called to session by President Mejia, he questioned the ability of the council to create changes in the Supreme Court if there were no vacancies to fill.
