Thousands of Poles are defending the Constitutional Tribunal at midnight. Tusk’s left-liberal government forcibly take over the Constitutional Tribunal useing police. Tusk intends to appoint his right-hand man—a government minister—as a judge there. Never before in Poland has a sitting government minister become a "judge" directly from the cabinet. This individual cannot assume the role because the Polish Constitution requires first the taking of an oath before the President of the Republic. The President refused to administer the oath because the candidate failed to demonstrate that he met the necessary criteria—specifically regarding independence and the requirement of ten years of legal practice. This is yet another move by Tusk—following the unlawful removal of independent judges from hearing cases, the abolition of the random judge-assignment system, and the illegal takeover of the prosecutor's office and the media—that is turning Poland into a dictatorship.
