MMA Fighters Will Not Restore the Rule of Law
Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: On 30 October 2026, Constitutional Tribunal judge, Anna Korwin-Piotrowska, decided to suspend the President and Vice-President of the Constitutional Tribunal. In a recent post on Verfassungsblog, Kim-Lane Scheppele, Laurent Pech and Maciej Kisilowski praised this move as lawful and necessary to restore the rule of law. In this post I present a different view. I argue that the legality of the order is doubtful and that to truly heal the Tribunal something else is needed – a rebuilding of its legitimacy, credibility and authority.
