The Listín Diario reports that there is a conflict brewing between Congress and the Supreme Court. Several senators are promoting a motion that would limit the age of Supreme Court judges to 75 years. Three Supreme Court judges are more than 75 years old. The judges of the Supreme Court are recent appointees after it was determined that the aging Supreme Court was unable to handle the work load. The motion of the Congress would try to impede a repeat of the past situation. This was pointed out by the president of the Comisión de Justicia del Senado, Dr. Julio Ulises de Beras de la Cruz. He said that the immovability of judges is not absolute. He would like to see a scale of ages for judges. Judges of peace would have to retire at 60, First Instance judges at 65, Appeal Court judges at 70, and Supreme Court judges at 75.
