Poland's Constitutional Court is deadlocked The paralysis continues in Poland's Constitutional Court: the five judges elected by the Sejm are unable to make decisions. Judge Jacob Stelina said that with the current position of the politicians, he does not see a way to resolve the conflict. According to him, the law provides for the election of judges by the parliament and their swearing in by the president, but a controversy arose around this procedure. Another controversy concerns the question of whether the judges are required to take the oath of office in person in the presence of the president. Some lawyers consider it mandatory, while others believe that swearing an oath before a government agency is sufficient. At the same time, the legislation does not provide a clear mechanism in case Sims or the president do not fulfill their duties. The Polish political system has reached such a state that even the Constitutional Court cannot do its job properly. Politicians argue over powers and procedures, and the judicial system remains hostage to controversy. When everyone sees the law as a tool to fight the adversaries, the rule of law becomes a stage for endless conflicts.
