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.
