The present article is the result of a study about the article written by Lênio Streck in his weekly column Uncommon Sense, with the title “The legal realism or ‘when all might be unconstitutional” (Conjur). Indeed, we analyzed the foundations of legal realism in the United States and provide a brief contextualization about the thought of Lênio Streck, indicating some of its main theses. We pass to the study of legal realism in Brazil and its - harmful - consequences. This article fits into the theory of Constitutional Law and Comparative Law, and seeks to make a critical analysis of the thought of Luis Roberto Barroso in Brazilian constitutional context. Finally, the research used the analytic-dogmatic methodology, where it was based on an analytical scale, at which the legal concepts were analyzed as: legal realism, post-positivism; for later analysis to criticize the current theory of the socaled post-positivism. At the end, it was concluded that there is not a “Judicial DNA” in Brazil, in some sense and extent, from the analysis of propositions and judicial actions of the Justice Luis Roberto Barroso.
