    Czechs to follow German lead on Lisbon Constitutional Court Challenge.

    Prague, July 10 (CTK) - The Lisbon treaty opponents from among Czech senators are completing their constitutional complaint against the document, one of them, Jiri Oberfalzer, told Czech Radio (CRo) Friday, adding that the complaint might be lodged with the Constitutional Court in the first half of August.

    No doubt the Poles will do the same.

    An interesting question raised by Dan Hannon two weeks ago comes to mind again:
    This, though, shouldn’t be the end of the story. If the European Constitution Lisbon Treaty is insufficiently democratic for Germany, why is it good enough for everyone else? Shouldn’t the other 26 member states demand the same statutory safeguards that the Bundestag will now adopt? I don’t easily see how Gordon Brown or Nicolas Sarkozy or Brian Cowen could get away with refusing. Aren’t the rest of as deserving of democracy as the Germans?

    For that matter can't anyone else in any other country challenge the constitutionality of the Lisbon Frankentreaty? Barring where they have a had a referendum any other legislation could be challenged.

    Well I'm sorry if I go above your level of childish shoolyard name calling. Perhaps you can go talk politics with toddlers while the adults deal with the real issues.

    Two days ago you described all Yes contributors to a particular thread as "scum", "obsessive freaks" and "fruitloops".

    Forgotten that have we?
