If this had occurred in the United States of America, rather than the European Union, the member states would respect the precedents already established by the Supreme Court, and would desist from Human Rights violations such as this. By comparison, the states of the European Union, especially in the east of Europe, have a scofflaw attitude toward the precedents of the European Court of Human Rights, with such arrogant attitude toward the Court, that each of them insists that the ECHR's decisions don't apply to them, until each of them have had the ECHR decide specifically against them. The United States of America are united. By comparison, by including these scofflaw states, the European Union makes itself, not a union of states, but a gang of glorified Ku Klux Klan chapters. One wonders why some of its states bothered to fight off Nazism and the Soviet Union, only to create Nazism and Sovietism anew for themselves.
