Uh-oh, @STF_oficial @Alexandre de Moraes! The walls are closing in!!!
Maybe it wasn’t such a good idea to ban Trump Media and Rumble in Brazil???
Here’s the background:
A Federal Court in Florida just ruled in favor of Trump Media and Rumble’s lawsuit against Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes to proceed by serving him via email.
Why does this matter?
The U.S. Court ordered that if Moraes does not respond in a timely manner after service, Rumble and Trump Media should promptly move for a default ruling, turning the service fight into evidence of the larger theme about a lack of transparency, a politicized judicial process in Brazil, and extraterritorial coercion at the hands of Moraes (!).
If Moraes appears, he must litigate jurisdiction, immunity, and enforceability in a U.S. Court, which is exactly what BrazilIan authorities have tried to shield him from.
But don’t worry, Moraes - I’m sure you’ll look great in an ankle bracelet and under house arrest! 🤣
