It's not front-page news and rarely mentioned with the public TV news media....but there is a drama unfolding with the German Constitutional Court system.
You see....some folks have taken cases up to challenge the idea that the German Bundestag has certain powers during the Covid era.
The question is....during the two years of Covid 'management'.....has the Bundestag given itself certain 'powers'?
There's a belief that in the next month or two....the court will rule, and there's various ways that the thousands of complaints lodged with the court....may be summed up.
The Constitution itself? It was never written with this type of problem laid out, and it simply doesn't say what you can or can't do. So the entry/exit regulations, the fines, the limits on travel, the curfew, the shutdowns.....all may be disqualified. Personally, I doubt it. But I would imagine that the court will say that you need to 'fix' this and they'd have to add a paragraph to the Constitution that says powers-X-Y-Z exist.
The fact that states and cities are pretty critical of the federal government running things? This will delay the efforts a bit.
