Note: The EU seems to be challenged in different ways lately. Will this lead to a new form of EU? We know it will at some point.
The seemingly obscure ruling... has called into question the legitimacy of the EU's supranational legal and political order.... The German court's ruling marks a new phase in the debate over the balance between national and supranational sovereignty. The European Union is now engaged in a power struggle with its largest member state, Germany. The legal feud threatens to unravel not only Europe's single currency, the euro, but the EU itself.
What amazes me is the one-sidedness and the zealous tone that is struck by some here. It is clear that the European Court of Justice has been claiming an unlimited precedence for European law for 50 years, but almost all national constitutional and supreme courts have objected to this for just as long. As long as we don't live in a European superstate, a country's membership is governed by its constitutional law." — Judge Peter Michael Huber, a member of the German Constitutional Court who helped write the ruling.
