WARSAW (Reuters) - Lawmakers from Poland's ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party on Wednesday pushed through a bill to give parliament a greater say in appointing judges, a move that the opposition and rights groups said violated the constitutional separation of powers.
Despite calls from some judges and rights activists, the opposition has been unable to marshal any real public protest against the bill, reflecting Poles' frustration with a system in which even simple court cases can last years.
