THE loathed EU Constitution is not worth the paper it is written on. So say Germany's most powerful judges. In a sensational, groundbreaking verdict, they ruled Brussels would be acting illegally if it tried to seize sovereign power from member states. Only elected governments have the right to decide economic, defence or foreign policy. That means NO European Army. NO control over criminal law. NO meddling in our police, welfare, education or media policies. And, crucially, NO overriding power to control tax or spending. Germany even rejects the EU Parliament as a democratic body - pointing out that it does not even have a proper Opposition. This must surely put paid forever to the grandiose dream of a European superstate? Fat chance. "Europe will, despite numerous setbacks and crises, continue to progress as an alliance of states in the process of integration whether the court likes it or not," snorted Germany's ex-Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer. Such high-handed contempt is now the EU's ugly trademark. Arrogant Eurocrats simply don't take No for an answer. That's why they forced the Danish people to vote twice over the Euro. They trampled on the express wishes of France and Holland to reject the Constitution. Now they have insultingly ordered the Irish people to reverse last year's devastating No. Will Ireland do as it's told? Or dare we hope they will use this last chance to kill the wretched Constitution stone dead?
