Hello Europe, Joe Biden is gone

Last Friday I attended a useful conference organized by Microsoft. It lived up very well to its title: “Justice, Security and Fundamental Rights: Dialogue on EU Law Enforcement Policies” Many thanks are due to various proofreaders who improved this article tremendously. From the original invitation tl;dr: European thinkers and policy makers are acting and talking as if the US federal government and courts are still “normal”, or will soon be so again.
