Not surprisng that HB supports the hysterical, screaming, shouting and scuffling rumpus-raisers tryng to storm the Sejm and shoving and badmouthing parliamentarty guards and police. And (Mayfixit et all hard-nosed capitalists take note!) wasting more taxpayer money. The interior minister is mulling having trouble-makers pay for the extra police security their punch-ups cost.

The internatonal community would do well to stop Europe's downward slide and continued spiritual and cultural deterioration. Rootless mamby-pamby wimps, obsessively repeating their mutli-culti fairy tales, are defenceless as a new-born babe in the face of ruthless, aggressive Third World hordes. You have yet to answer Trump's straight forward question: Why does Europe refuse to defend its heritage?

There is nothing dodgier than the post-PRL or neo-PRL judiciary. First and foremost, it is self-serving entity that constitutes a privileged caste accountable and beholden only to itself. Between jabs of the pitchfork, Jaruzelski must be chuckling deep down in hell because his bureacratic concoctions have been the root of the hysterical anti-government anarchy now taking place.

Why hasn't it been mentioned that the KRS and the Constitutional Tribunal are both PRL-era concoctions? Many countries have done just fine without such additional, sjupefluous bureaucratic entities. The Supreme Court in most cases is sufficient.

The best thing about the judicial reform is the removal of PRL-era judges. Toga-clad regimists (backers of the PRL regime) who prosrecuted dissidents should have been debarred in 1990. Most of today's rows stem from the lack of thorough de-communisation during the birth of III RP. Recently when one PO backer started talking about how communism was overthrown in 1989, SLD leader Czarzasty replied: "No such thing occurred. You simply made a deal with us! (wyście się z nami dogadali)!"

Of course, the session could have been postponed till the following day, but then the pathetic losers would have rested overnight and revved up their hate machinery for another mud-slinging match at the taxpayer's expense. The only alternative was to vote and they did. All those extra sessions to recall different ministers (how many were there?) cost the taxpayer 1.3 mln zł per session. But it was no skin off of PO's b*llocks, so they went ahead with their muppet shows anyway.

You like diversity, go to Calais or one of Belgium's no-go zones. Acording to Deutsche Welle, many tourists are staying away from Belgian seaside resorts. Fearing terrorism, Japanese, Australian and American sightseers are crossing Belgium off their European itineraries. Or maybe Germany. Angela Merkel has been warned she could face a lawless society in Germany if she does not tackle the rise of dangerous no-go zones where even the police are attacked. Except that there isn't much diversity in a Islamocracy and that's what the no-go zones are all about.

In actuality, Polish Radio's website is one of the more balanced sources of information, routinely giving both sides of a story.

Instead of all your badmouthing, cynical speculation, dodgy insinuations and general PiS-bashing, sit back and get the real info direct from the horse's mouth!

Polish Radio reported that the head of Poland's ruling conservatives on Friday defended plans for sweeping changes to the country's courts. The Law and Justice (PiS) government argues that changes are vital to reform what it claims is an inefficient and sometimes corrupt judicial system in Poland.

PiS leader Jarosław Kaczyński told reporters on Friday that the Polish judiciary "suffers from two serious illnesses: the first is the collapse of moral principles, professional morality, general morality.

"The second issue is huge inefficiency, delays in cases, which cause many people to suffer in different ways."
Ordianry Poles have criticised Polish courts for taking too long to hear cases, and have accused judges of being an elite, self-serving clique often out of touch with the problems of ordinary citizens. A PiS-backed bill on the National Council of the Judiciary (KRS), a constitutional body tasked with safeguarding the independence of courts and judges, would see the terms of 15 of its members who are judges phased out, and their replacements selected by parliament -- not by other legal professionals, as is currently the case.

A second bill would change the way that heads of district and appeals courts are appointed, making the justice minister solely responsible for such decisions.

Meanwhile, other planned changes would introduce new rules for appointing Supreme Court judges. Current judges of the court could be retired under a PiS-backed bill.

It seems 39 of hte 50 states elecet judges, including those to the State Supreme Court, not just low-ranking justices of the peace. Popularly elected judges are accountable to the public. Appointees must curry favour with those who appointed them -- politicians, some public institution or ad hoc body (often the real string-puller is the lobby bankrolling the operation).


Truer words were never spoken. But the oppositon and some wayward PF-ers believe it is the likes of Michnik, Schetyna, Kijowski and similar self-appointed "autorities" that should decide things, not the democratically elected Sejm and Senate.

Precisely, that is the man who can assure it. Up till now, the courts, judges and their barrister sidekicks had constituted an untouchable corporate mafia, a state within a state, answerable only to themselves. PO court jesters such as Bogdan Budka, the defunct PO regime's foremr justice min., has reacted with nonsesne that really takes he biscuit, He claims the reform would mean the Supreme Court, which is charged with confirming election results, could invalidate them if PiS were to lose.

But PiS MP Marcin Horała explained that the reform would guarantee the separation of powers and ensure a system of checks and balances. PiS said the broad-reaching changes would effectively create a new Supreme Court in which onl highly qualified and ethical indiviudals people could become judges and that the court would "enjoy more authority and the trust of citizens. Average Poles have criticised Polish courts for taking too long to hear cases, and have accused judges of being an elite, self-serving clique often out of touch with the problems of ordinary citizens.

The best proof are not biased media but the Polish people, ordinary citizens. Talk to anybody who has had to deal with Poland's lackadaisacal and oft-corrupt judges and they'll tell you like it is.

Probably even more Poles in the USSR did, usually passing themselves off as Ukrainians or Belarusians.
