January 2, 2012, 10:04 am The Unconstitutional Constitution

The constituent power is proclaimed to be ethnic Hungarians no matter where they live, instead of the citizens of the state whose constitution applies first and foremost to them. The new constitution must now be interpreted in the light of Hungary’s “historic constitution” and the Holy Crown of St. Stephen, both ideas that have gotten the country into trouble with its neighbors before.
