This week in Germany, a court ruled that the rejection of three migrants at the German border violated EU law. The interior minister, supported by the chancellor, sees no reason to change his policy. The judges on the case are facing defamation and threats.
Worrying development for the rule of law.

Some people seem to dislike the Court’s reasoning in Malta but agree CBI is (morally?) wrong. If we agree the reasoning’s weak but the outcome right (which I don’t) Q = should courts pursue (what’s seems to be) policy-orientated (moral) outcomes?

I am disconnected from Irish politics these days, but the speaking rights dispute seems about the long game? People keeps asking what deal they have with Lowry, but is it not also about demographic shifts: FF & FG continue to govern in the future by securing majorities in Dáil supported by IND's?

If the proposed Irish rules for warnings labels on alcoholic beverages are a barrier to the free moment of goods, undermining Cassis etc like Italy, France, & Co. argue, are the French warning labels on wine for pregnant women not equally such barriers?
