European Union and the Rule of Law

New book review about the Oxford Handbook of European Legal History which you can watch on YouTube at this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3xGet6Rtr0&t=12s


Reason to read: Too many to list here, but the last chapter, “The Law of the European Union in Historical Perspective” (from which the quote above comes), shows clearly how the RULE OF LAW is not even an ideal inside the EU. Essentially, Europe is reverting to the principle of the Divine Right of the Executive, and the judges in the ECJ are used as camouflage for that. There is no control, either democratic or parliamentary, over those judges. That is deliberate. They are free to interpret everything that comes before them in the light, not of the law, but of the ideal of a united Europe. This goes a long way beyond the fears of even the most Brexit-supporting voters in Britain.
