Resumo: The political process of nominating the ministers of the Brazilian Supreme Federal Court (STF) is still little known by the specialized literature. Is this a process that follows the logic of coalition presidentialism? Or is it a space for bureaucratic insulation? This article seeks to answer these questions. In addition to press reports, the main documentary source of this investigation consists of testimonies collected by the FGV’s Oral History project (1988-2013). The article is structured in three sections. The first observes the legal and political procedures of a process of appointing a minister to the STF. The second is subdivided into subsections that address the trajectories of the ministers appointed by five presidents: Itamar Franco, Fernando Henrique Cardoso, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, Dilma Rousseff and Michel Temer. The third section relates the data found by the investigation to the literature dealing with the bases of Brazilian coalition presidentialism and “bureaucratic isolation”. It is concluded that the indications of ministers to the STF do not operate in a single way, but in four different articulations: internal, bargain, symbolic and insulated. These indications follow their own, hybrid logic, simultaneously political and technical, and respond to the demands of the conjuncture.

Esse é um processo que obedece à lógica do presidencialismo de coalizão? Ou trata-se de um espaço próprio de insulamento burocrático? O presente artigo busca responder a essas questões. Além de matérias da imprensa, a principal fonte documental desta investigação consiste nos depoimentos colhidos pelo projeto História oral do Supremo (1988-2013), da Escola de Direito do Rio de Janeiro da Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV DIREITO RIO). O artigo está estruturado em três seções. A primeira observa os trâmites legais e políticos de um processo de indicação de ministro ao STF. A segunda está subdividida em subseções que abordam as trajetórias dos ministros indicados por cinco presidentes: Itamar Franco, Fernando Henrique Cardoso, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, Dilma Rousseff e Michel Temer. A terceira seção relaciona os dados encontrados pela investigação com as literaturas que tratam das bases do presidencialismo de coalizão brasileiro e do “insulamento burocrático”. Conclui-se que as indicações de ministros ao STF não operam em uma única forma, mas sim em quatro articulações distintas: interna, barganha, simbólica e insulada. Essas indicações seguem por uma lógica própria, híbrida, simultaneamente política e técnica, e respondem às demandas da conjuntura.Escola de Direito de São Paulo da Fundação Getulio Vargas2022-07-15info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/revdireitogv/article/view/86130Revista Direito GV; Vol. 18 No. 2 (2022): maio-ago.
