UNBELIEVABLE SCENES IN POLAND. Anna Korwin-Piotrowska, elected to the Constitutional Tribunal by Tusk's parliamentary majority but NEVER sworn in before the President of Poland, is now being presented on television as the person taking over the duties of the Tribunal's president. Polish law requires Constitutional Tribunal judges to take their oath before the President. Korwin-Piotrowska instead participated in a ceremony in Parliament, whose legal validity is disputed. She has now declared the Tribunal's president and vice-president suspended, invoking provisions governing ordinary courts through disputed statutory cross-references. The Tribunal's existing leadership rejects her judicial status, refuses to recognise the suspension and has denounced the operation as an unlawful coup d'état. A person whose own authority to serve as a constitutional judge is contested is claiming the power to suspend the leadership of Poland's highest constitutional court. And all of this is being presented as the restoration of the rule of law.
