Mexico's Senate has voted to overhaul the country's judiciary, a move that critics fear will politicize the judicial branch and threaten Mexico's democracy. The approval came after weeks of protests by judicial employees and law students. The plan, under which all judges would be elected, could threaten judicial independence and undermine the system of checks and balances.
