overconstitutional

And if this social life guided by norms does not tend to justice, if it does not learn the lessons of the past, if it does not get into people’s hearts, and if it does not reflect the changing and permanent tendencies of major principles that provide for social stability, it will eventually give rise to crises and deteriorate in the face of overwhelming values, for there are natural and overconstitutional principles of Law that determine the duration of positive texts by making them short-lived if they do not take those principles into account, or longlived if the reverse is true.

Edit: You can see that by the decision about a law that wanted to give the government the right to shoot down a plane that was kidnapped by terrorists. The consti[t]utional court said there can't be a law that puts innocent people[']s life in the plain beyond the life of innocent people in the sky-scraper. If they can have a minute longer to life,^([sic]) than^([sic]) their lifes^([sic]) are protected. That said, the constitu[t]ional court said that a pilot that would shoot them down would be protected by an overconstitutional emergency.

That said, the courts opened a window for this situation, saying that a pilot or even someone ordering that pilot would be in something that is called an "Overconstitutional Emergency", which would prevent a criminal prosecution of said people if they actually shoot down a plain. So, while there can never be a constitutional-law abbiding law that prioritze one life over another, there is a factual way to solve that problem.
