Abstract

Portuguese Abstract: O artigo trata de deposição Parlamentar da Presidente da República Federativa do Brasil e a competência do Supremo Tribunal Federal para elidir suas práticas, mediante o exercício de revisão judicial fundada na ética e nas normas Constitucionais. Critica-se a autocontenção do Supremo Tribunal Federal à revisão formal do procedimento de afastamento. Cogita-se que o referido Golpe de Estado possui características sui generis ao não se utilizar de Forças Militares. Conclui-se que o Poder Judiciário consubstancia a ultima ratio para salvaguardar a democracia e o sistema presidencialista conquistado pelo povo na Constituição de 1988.
