> Poland’s government suspended two senior Constitutional Tribunal justices and sought to lift their immunity so it could bring criminal charges, triggering a political standoff in Warsaw. Law and Justice party opponents protested outside, while riot police guarded the building. The tribunal says the justices remain legally appointed; Prime Minister Donald Tusk says his government is restoring the rule of law.
