sentences:  In National Assembly-approved 1990 reforms to the Organic Law of Tribunals, the Chamorro government enlarged the Supreme Court's membership from the constitutionally mandated seven justices to nine, as a way of breaking what was perceived as Sandinista domination of the court.Those seven members had been appointed to their six-year terms in December 1987, and their terms were to expire in 1993.In 1990 President Chamorro also dismissed the court's Sandinista-appointed head and replaced him with one of her own choosing.
