Como no puedo hablar del fallo voy a hablar del trabajo judicial.<\/p>\n<p>Los jueces tienen que resolver dos tipos de casos: los f\u00e1ciles y los dif\u00edciles. Los f\u00e1ciles son aquellos en los cuales no hay duda sobre la soluci\u00f3n. Son silogismos como este: el que roba debe ir a la c\u00e1rcel, Juan rob\u00f3, por lo tanto Juan debe ir a la c\u00e1rcel. En los casos dif\u00edciles, en cambio, la soluci\u00f3n no es evidente y eso debido a que la norma no es clara o a que los hechos son confusos o a ambas cosas.<\/p>\n<p>La gran pregunta de la teor\u00eda del derecho es esta: si en estos casos dif\u00edciles hay varias soluciones posibles \u00bfcon base en qu\u00e9 criterios escogen los jueces una de ellas? Algunos sostienen que son las convicciones de los jueces o su evaluaci\u00f3n del contexto pol\u00edtico, lo que finalmente determina el fallo. Yo creo que esa es una caricatura de la decisi\u00f3n judicial, pero como todas las caricaturas, tiene algo de verdad. La manera como los jueces deciden los casos dif\u00edciles suele ser el producto de un esfuerzo por conciliar esas convicciones con lo que las nomas dicen.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bfCree usted, amigo lector, que la decisi\u00f3n sobre la ley del referendo es un caso f\u00e1cil o dif\u00edcil? Mucha gente considera que se trata de un caso dif\u00edcil y es muy probable que algunos magistrados de la Corte piensen lo mismo, es decir, que se trata de un caso confuso.<\/p>\n<p>Si eso es as\u00ed, me pregunto \u00bfqu\u00e9 razones tendr\u00e1n esos magistrados para tomar una decisi\u00f3n? \u00bfQu\u00e9 tanto peso tendr\u00e1n sus convicciones o su evaluaci\u00f3n del contexto pol\u00edtico actual? Es muy probable que estos elementos extrajur\u00eddicos &#8211; para llamarlos de alguna manera &#8211; tengan menos peso que hace cuatro a\u00f1os, pero tendr\u00e1n peso.<\/p>\n<p>Para quienes creen que el referendo es un caso dif\u00edcil y por eso necesitan argumentos de conveniencia, o extra-judiciales, aqu\u00ed va uno relacionado con el impacto internacional que tendr\u00eda una segunda reelecci\u00f3n del presidente Uribe.<\/p>\n<p>Si la Corte aprueba el referendo el pa\u00eds podr\u00eda ingresar al poco honroso club de pa\u00edses que han adoptado la doble reelecci\u00f3n presidencial. Seg\u00fan datos presentados por el profesor Juan Gabriel G\u00f3mez, de la Universidad Nacional, esos pa\u00edses son los siguientes: Argelia, Belar\u00fas, Burkina Faso, Kazajist\u00e1n, Nigeria, T\u00fanez, Tayikist\u00e1n, Uzbekist\u00e1n y Venezuela. Todos ellos est\u00e1n por debajo de Colombia, es decir peor, en la clasificaci\u00f3n de pa\u00edses democr\u00e1ticos hecha por la revista The Economist. As\u00ed por ejemplo, el puesto menos malo lo ocupa Venezuela, en el n\u00famero 95 (Colombia est\u00e1 en el puesto 60). Todos, menos T\u00fanez, est\u00e1n igualmente por debajo de Colombia en la clasificaci\u00f3n de pa\u00edses por \u00edndice de corrupci\u00f3n (Transparencia internacional, 2008).<\/p>\n<p>As\u00ed pues, en este grupo Colombia aparecer\u00eda como un modelo de democracia y probidad. Pero claro, esta no es una raz\u00f3n para querer estar all\u00ed, sino para querer salirse: es mejor ser el malo de los buenos que el bueno de los malos.<\/p>\n<p>Para quienes todav\u00eda creen que el caso del referendo es de los dif\u00edciles, estos datos pueden servir para convencerlos de su inconstitucionalidad. Pero yo, que creo que es un caso f\u00e1cil, espero que ellos no hagan falta para que la Corte derrumbe esta propuesta de reforma constitucional.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WHEN writing this op-ed,  the Court&#8217;s decision on the referendum is yet unknown.
