The election of Alberto Rojas as judge of the Constitutional Court made me think about December 1st of 1993. During that day took place the election, in Congress, of the first permanent judges of the Constitutional Court.

Dejusticia, Sisma Mujer and the Red Nacional de Mujeres challenged the selection of the Superintendent of Surveillance and Private Security as a violation of the Quotas Law, arguing that the President had an obligation to appoint a woman for the post, and yet appointed a man.

Lets suppose that the Inspector General Ordoñez wins next presidential elections (the gods will not allow it) and achieves it through a government plan that promises restoring moral, tradition and family. Lets suppose that, in the development of this program, Ordoñez prohibits the consumption of alcohol. Many things would change: the liquor factories would close and whisky importations would come to an end; parties would take place without alcohol, etc. Ah! and sure, many would violate the norm and, in this way, black markets would thrive.
