Brazil court blocks Facebook funds over WhatsApp dispute

We don't have elected judges so that might help. Our judges need to be approved in a incredible hard Civil service entrance examination.

Also, they have several constitutional protections that protect them from political or public subordination as they have jobs for life, they can't be moved to another city without their consent, etc.

Are you sure about the restriction in mobility for judges in Europe?
