9E -2 Minister Dr. Meissner confirms by pointing out that the whole provision "entitlement to the judicial office" is futile, because if it is disloyally interpreted, not in terms of purpose and purpose, but only literally, the President of the OvG and the President can, by systematic appointment of eD judges from the ranks of administrative officials who, while being able to identify themselves with the certificate of the judicial examination, can, without, however, being exercising judges, completely displace the judicial judges from administrative court and thus lead the whole rule ad absurdum. Apart from the two ministers of justice, the later presidents of the OvG, in particular Dr. Hácha, have also appealed against the amendment in l937 to the key ener- gically, stating that each mechanical 13 restriction makes it difficult and factual to select the members of the court to represent neither the previous key nor any other key, because both the moral and professional characteristics of the administrative judge are guaranteed far more by individual characteristics than by the previous occupation. In the case of the demokrat.-parlam.system of the year l937, although the red key did not fall completely for the time being, it was reduced from 1 : 1 to 2/5 : 3/5 and above all the mandatory compliance in the individual senate was eliminated. However, the key has completely lost its original purpose by means of the Letz- SLEB*COV tere measure, because it is precisely the intention to supplement the judicial properties of the legal finders in the senate that has become obsolete, since there can now be certain cases entirely made up of former judicial judges and those which are entirely composed of former administrative officials. If it is further considered that, if about half of the judges of the OvG are to be removed from the judiciary, only half are left to experts from the administration, who are needed in the first place, and if, after deduction of 1/4 for the special field of finance, the total number of judges remains for the large area of general administration, then the whole senselessness of the key appears from it.
