Polish Supreme Court Head Defies Ruling Party As Crisis Deepens

quote [ Malgorzata Gersdorf is rejecting a shake-up by the right-wing government that is aimed at forcing her and other top judges to retire. The government's move is straining its relations with the EU. ]

“What will happen is what I predicted at the very beginning: There will be a civil war. There’s nothing we can do about it,” he said. “This is the path of civil war. I’d like to avoid it.” - Lech Walesa, former President of Poland.

Constitutional crises, not just for america.

How much Russian funding do you think is behind this government? More or less than ours?

"Gersdorf had been told to step down at midnight because of a new law that lowers the retirement age of Supreme Court judges from 70 to 65" - Is a genius move - purge who you like and then write a new law that says "95" or whatever.
