Chief Justice Josef Baxa of the Constitutional Court is a product of the same American structures as Pres. Petr Pavel, ex-Army Chief of Staff Karel Řehka and Supreme State Prosecutor Lenka Bradáčová. Donald Trump calls these structures the Deep State, and Andrej Babiš uses the same term for the Czech offshoots. Much was invested by these structures into grooming Baxa for his current position. He had a curated media presentation that included the publication in 2023 of a book by some of the people who were closely associated with Pavel's presidential campaign and who helped launch Deník N while the campaign was being executed. Until now the coalition parties and voters they represent had little reason to take objection to Baxa's work. He even oversaw an election-law decision that favored the future coalition. Yet with the Court's ruling on Pavel's participation at the Nato summit, Baxa becomes a major political player. He also becomes a major political target, and Justice Min. Jeroným Tejc is taking aim.
