But even Scheuer gets plenty of headwind on the net for his sentence: “I have a different legal opinion than the ECJ.” One critic posted: “Anyone who has a different legal opinion than the ECJ should vacate all political offices as soon as possible.

Wow, I’m not #Lanz-Friend, the appearance of Andi #Scheuer there is something Trump-like, such a denial of reality and hubris. Nice that Lanz doesn’t let him get away with it.
