Only Poles Can Save Polish Democracy
In recent weeks, Poland's ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party has moved forward with legislation to undermine the country's independent judiciary and pack it with loyalists. Poles who still support liberal democracy should not hold their breath waiting for the European Union – or Poland's judges – to step in.

WARSAW – Massive protests in Warsaw have made headlines around the world in recent weeks. Poles are demonstrating against legislation enacted by the ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party that would lower the retirement age of Supreme Court justices, effectively forcing out all judges over the age of 65 and allowing the PiS to pack the court with its own tame justices.
