One of Germany's most senior constitutional judges has said Angela Merkel's government is violating the country's constitution by failing to protect its borders.
In a report commissioned by Mrs Merkel's partners, the Christian Social Union (CSU), Udo di Fabio says the federal government is constitutionally obliged to take control of border security when European institutions are impaired.
Mr. di Fabio, himself from an immigrant family, adds that the overwhelming migrant influx, and the subsequent suspension of the Dublin Convention, means that the German government is therefore obliged to step in, but has so far failed to do so adequately. In doing so, they committed a "historic breach of law", N-TV reports.
Taking a shot at Merkel's appeals to keep the borders open due to compassion for refugees fleeing war and persecution, he adds:
"The Basic Law does not guarantee the protection of all people worldwide through de facto or legal entry permits."
The report will be of particular concern to the German authorities since article 20(4) of the German constitution says citizens have a right to "resist" any person seeking to violate the country's constitutional order, "if no other remedy is available".
It reads: "All Germans shall have the right to resist any person seeking to abolish this constitutional order, if no other remedy is available".

Every politician dreams of doing something “historic.”
She has destroyed Germany.
That's pretty historic.
Politicians , what do they know about the Law ,NOTHING
I would've expected this out of an SPD nutjob, not someone from the CDU. I agree, she has destroyed that country.
Gee, just like Obama.
“She has destroyed Germany.”
As usual, all it takes is one person to cause a catastrophe and destroy a country.
It’ll buff out.
The rest are just following orders, or being ordered around.
HER, THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT, SWEDISH GOVERNMENT, ETC AND THE US GOVERNMENT ON BUSH II AND OBAMA’S WATCHES!!
She is right up there with obama. Just one more year of that guy and then eraser time!!!
Sehr gut! Very good decision from this German judge.
Judge: Merkel Committed Historic Breach Of Law In Opening Borders, Constitution Allows 'Right To Resist'
Almost every word in his statement applies to Dumbo here in the USA, it is probably partially modeled on ours. We have the same requirement, even stricter really, in Article I ( Congress ) and IV ( FedGov ) to protect from invasion. It is enumerated and if only the Founders had inserted recourse, like say secession in the event of their failure, we would be good to go.
Alas, we're stuck with impeachment, and plain old voting. We're so civilized.
I wonder what the Germans are willing to do do prevent invasion this time? A Siegfried Line won't cut it when the enemy has friends in high places in Berlin.
Merkel and Obama sitting in a tree......
Copy cat crimes?
And just like America, no one does ANYTHING about it.
And Western Europe with it. Perhaps there is a silver lining on all this, if it destroys that monstrosity called the EU and the nation states will come back to life.
Germans have a lot of experience in that area.
Maybe the Poles will be nice and be kind enough to allow the Volksdeutsche back into Silesia and Pomerania when the Muslims kick them out of Germany.
No Shiite, Judge!
