When judges usurp power, politicians must defy them, or you end up with a judicial tyranny.

protection from the potentially devastating effects of sexually transmitted diseases was a human right and that the government has a duty to protect its citizens.
see how easy that is when the argument is made on that merit?

A black robe is no indication of wisdom or virtue, only of delegated power.

Let them freeze in the dark. Thats probably exactly what will happen, as their economy goes into a depression. Let the climate change ass hats 🎩 be the first ones required to pitch a tent, and try to stay warm in a sleeping bag.

After they ruin their economy and people start leaving in droves, who will supply the emigres with wooden shoes?

Black robes start as lawyers.
Nothing about that makes them wise, or fair, or just.

Will the other countries even let white Dutch people in as refugees?

Immense victory for climate justice”, what a perfect phrase.
It fairly rolls off the tongue.
Climate justice.
Climate justice.
Climate just us.
Climate just us.

I foresee huge landing fees for commercial air in Amsterdam to raise money to buy carbon credit indulgences for the sin of 21st century modern conveniences

The goal is easily achieved. Just shut off the power grid for the winter, close all gas stations and industry for 3 months a year, slaughter a fourth of the methane-producing cows that provide the backbone of the Netherlands’ economy — and voila, 25% reduction. If the Dutch people don’t like prehistoric life, well, they can elect a new government, assuming they survive the frozen depression, and can walk to the polls in the dark.

protection from the potentially devastating effects of Islamic terrorism was a human right and that the government has a duty to protect its citizens.

Their government should prevent all vehicles on the road for 2020 and no heat in homes. See how long they rejoice.
