> ... which violate fundamental rights and stand no chance in court

Thankfully the EU still has the European Convention on Human Rights and an associated court which individuals can go to and sue their state: the European Court of Human Rights. This is unlike the European Court of Justice which cannot directly be seized by individuals.

That EU Convention on Human Rights contains the "right to privacy" (art. 8).

This may be what they meant by saying that this horrible text stood no chance in court: a deluge of individual going to to the EU Court of Human Rights invoking article 8.

Now I don't doubt that the sold outs and enemy of the EU states at the European Commission are going to come back with other horrible measures.

As a sidenote this whole "good cop (European Parliament) / bad cop (European Commission)" is a bit of a farce played on the EU people too.
