As a Canadian, I have to wonder what it’s like to live in a country where the courts actually enforce the constitution instead of making endless exceptions for obvious violations of it.
The previous German government declared an emergency in 2020 and created a coronavirus relief fund that was outside the envelope imposed by the debt brake.
It decided to put 60-billion euros (about C$90 billion) of the COVID fiscal room into encouraging electrified home heating and transport. But opposition politicians naturally saw this as an unconstitutional swindle and an abuse of emergency powers. The constitutional status of the debt brake allowed them to sue in federal court — and last week they won. Pretty resoundingly, as it happens.
This punched a huge hole in German finances, and on Tuesday a humiliated Lindner announced an immediate freeze on federal spending.
…and to get around that, all they had to do was declare another state of emergency.

From zerohedge…
In Canada, the Liberals ignore any court decision they don’t like and all the governments are allowed to tax those who haven’t even been born.
Canada is a stupid place with far too many stupid people.
“Lindner and the Free Democrats would prefer to stand up for austerity, but not at the expense of their own popularity.”
Free Democrats: We have the Cowardice of denying our own principles.
I wish I could provide links, but for some reason I just can’t.. However On youtube today, an Austrian woman who has a Youtube channel, called Survival Lilly posted a hair raising post allegedly from a good source in the German Insurance industry about where the digital ID is and will be taking us, Now, and in the short term.. This is frightening stuff, and well worth the 9minute and 45 second look.. What can be done about this?.. No idea, but better to have some warning I guess.
Nothing had to be done about covid except ignore the stupid insanity. End of f-ing story.
Star chamber or organic.. Sadly when the pandemic became the new norm it was business as usual for power and greed.. Emergency powers tend to do that.. Seeing as we are already locked down :).. Let’s redo everything in our image..
