Sumario:The conquest of rights by minorities was powerfully recognized from the Constitutional Reform of 1994, especially by the inclusion of Human Rights Treaties with constitutional hierarchy. In this sense, the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation was sometimes early and sometimes late in recognizing and expanding rights. In particular, the religious groups that came to the High Court, claiming for their rights, on some occasions, in extreme situations, were mostly Jehovah's Witnesses. The composition of the High Court and its responses varied in the various sentences, highlighting the leading role of certain members, through their votes. Therefore, I will try, through socio-linguistic discourse analysis from a multidimensional perspective, to show the power struggles within the Court when reconfiguring the rights of such religious groups, through key rulings during this century.
