8 of 11 members of Mexico's SC to resign in protest of judicial overhaul

Quick Summary:

Eight justices of Mexico's Supreme Court have said they will leave the court rather than stand for election as required by a controversial judicial overhaul passed last month.

Supreme Court President Norma Pina and seven others submitted letters Tuesday and Wednesday stating they would leave their posts rather than compete in judicial elections scheduled for next June.

Last month, Mexico's Congress passed and a majority of states ratified then-President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador's initiative to make all of the country's judges subject to election.
