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.
