But lets be honest for a moment: all Brazilian politicians are on the take. Still you almost have to admire quite how catastrophically Dilma has handled this.

This is going to hurt Brazilian presidency long term.

Damaging an already unhealthy set of democratic institutions in order to further personal political ambitions rarely works out well, yes...

2/3rds majority makes it hard for Impeachment to be completely baseless. I don't think that this will become a trend if there isn't cause for it.

All Brazilian politicians are corrupt - Dilma's VP and likely successor is by any standard clearly worse on this score than she is - which means that 'cause' can always be found. This kind of behavior can become addictive and cause serious damage to institutions.
