Sumario:The new six-year term in Mexico has tested again the balance of power. Constitutional justice acquired relevance in the face of the domination of a new hegemonic government. From the perspective of weak constitutionalism, it is asked whether the Judiciary and, in particular, the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation, has the appropriate institutions to comply with a genuine constitutional justice. The hypothesis points out that, although there are important institutions, there are important limitations that prevent full justice. The method follows the classification of adjective and substantive functions, analyzing the scope of the various judicial decisions. It demonstrates the limitations that exist and proposes ways to expand constitutional justice.
