By disobeying the law. Got it.
This lady was born in the early 1950s.
I tend to think of judges at the scoundrels who hate President Trump the most and who are the most pernicious defenders of Corporatism and the entrenched “Never Trump” forces of a Deep State.
this is the EU telling Poland how to retire judges.
ExitPol now!
Why can’t we have something like that over here?
Funny how judges who invent rights that nobody ever voted on, and appear in no written constitutional document, such as gay marriage, think they are protecting the rule of law.
While I believe in term limits Eff The EU!
Your mother sucks, your sister sucks and your father would have sucked but I didn’t have a nickel!
Fat Belgian bastards
I note the EU has no 10th amendment protections.
Those Europeans are crazy. Making a young person retire at 65?
If I’m reading this correctly, this is an EU law, not Polish law.
Sounds like a good way to get rid of some older more conservative jurists so they can move more quickly toward their socialist utopia one-world government.
Gersdorf doesn’t sound Polish.
Yogi Pirogi is the king of Parma Ohio!
If Brussels is in favor of the law then I’m against it.
Ex post facto.
Speaking of Belgium, I was watching the World Cup game the other day, Belgium v. Japan, and noticed that Belgium actually had a black player with all four limbs...
The entire concept of “judicial independence” relates entirely and exclusively to the political independence of judicial decisions. That concept has zip, zero, nada to with the manner of the selection and appointment of judges, which varies between different countries, nor the lenght of their terms, which also can vary.
This is 100% an additional case of the EU attemtpting to interefer in the domestic affairs of an EU member state, thinkint it, the EU, is protecting interests in that state that are more favorable towards the EU than is the elected government of that state.
In the background you will find political interests within the Polish state that are connected to EU-centric interests within the EU itself, and within some nations whose nationals have places within the EU executive and EU agencies and commissions - interests with antipathy toward the ruling government of Poland.
It all began a few years ago when the Leftists in Poland lost in landslide victory for the Conservatives in Poland. At the midnight hour (final months of their administration), anticipating their loss, the Leftists (many former Communists that merely changed their lable to “socialist”), legislated new administrative rules for the top court and added a bunch of new seats to the court, which they immediately filled just prior to their election loss.
The new government, once installed, immediately called the new top court seats as invalid and forced the new judges to resign. Then they legislated new administrative rules of their own for the court (mostly as to the timing of the selection of in what order cases are to be heard).
Having said nothing of the previous government packing the top court at the midnight hour, the EU folks began making all kinds of claims and threats against the new government for the actions it took to re-organize the judiciary. (all within the Polish constitution they are allowed to do by legislation).
In short, the entire thing is a far-left of center EU-centric rage against the elected government of Poland, because by their history and experience the people and the Conservative politicians in Poland know the Marxist ambitions of the EU as no different than their own Marxists, whom the EU loves.
