Mexico Top Court to Consider Request to Review Judicial Reform.

Mexico's Supreme Court has agreed to review a judicial reform proposed by former President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador. The reform calls for the election of all Mexican federal judges, including those in the Supreme Court, by popular vote. Critics argue that this could undermine checks on the ruling Morena party's power and weaken democracy. President Claudia Sheinbaum has expressed support for the reform, stating that it was a decision made by the people of Mexico. The president of the Senate, Gerardo Fernández Noroña, has claimed that neither the Supreme Court nor the judiciary have the authority to review acts of Congress, and that the reform will be implemented regardless of the court's decision.
