Argentina's President Javier Milei temporarily appointed two Supreme Court judges by decree Tuesday, bypassing Congress during its summer recess to push through a particularly controversial candidate in a move criticized as an overreach of executive power.
The president's office said it was within Milei's constitutional right to fill the two vacancies on the five-member panel as a matter of convenience and expediency. Argentina's top court “cannot carry out its normal role with only three justices," the statement added.
