Brazil Senate approves Lula's justice minister for Supreme Court seat
Brazil's Senate on Wednesday signed off on President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's nomination of Justice Minister Flavio Dino to the Supreme Court, paving the way for the minister to take on a seat that had been vacant since late September. Two senators abstained from the vote. Dino, who will replace former Justice Rosa Weber following her September retirement, was Lula's second appointment to Brazil's top court since he took office in January for his third non-consecutive term as president.
