For the most part it sounds like a pretty good model of human and social rights and freedomsWow . . . you're not well-read, with all due respect. What it actually sounds like is the Basic Rights, Freedoms and Duties of Citizens of the USSR, right out of the USSR's constitution. And just like the USSR's constitution, those rights are given by the government and do not belong to the people, and they could be taken away at will by the government. Those rights do not include habeas corpus. And perhaps more dangerously than the USSR's constitution, the Charter of Fundamental Rights has Article 52 section 1: Any limitation on the exercise of the rights and freedoms recognized by this Charter must be provided for by law and respect the essence of those rights and freedoms. Subject to the principle of proportionality, limitations may be made only if they are necessary and genuinely meet objectives of general interest recognized by the Union or the need to protect the rights and freedoms of others.Why don't you understand that this means that the Union has the right to legislate rights away at will? There is nothing in the Treaty of Lisbon that recognizes that the rights belong to the people. Not only do they copy the USSR's constitution here, they also copy the undemocratic Soviet model in the Brussels government, just as the government in Red China is a copy of the same. even if the European model did impinge greatly on individual freedom, the point is moot, because I'm not saying that America should copy European law word-for-word or completely do away with American values or freedoms, but a move towards what is clearly a beneficial and I say superior system for a majority of the populace would great be a great improvement for Americans and American society No, it's not a superior system. We're suffering right now due to the dearth of industrial jobs. Those were sold away to China by leftist politicians and leftist union leaders for the purpose of advancing communism; weakening the USA means that communism can advance. The location of jobs is the sole thing that makes Europe (and even China) appear better off to people over here. |
