Surprisingly
,
the
Constitutional
Court
is
ready
to
accept
a
diffuse
control
by
every
ordinary
judge
of
the
“
consolidated
”
nature
of
the
Court
’s
judgments
.
Thus
,
in
2015
the
ordinary
judges
have
regained
a
truly
uncontrolled
power
over
the
application
of
the
Convention
,
which
the
first
“
twin
judgments
”
had
intended
to
strictly
limit
.
There
is
,
however
,
one
major
difference
.
While
until
2007
the
ordinary
judges
had
a
final
say
on
the
application
of
the
Convention
to
the
detriment
of
national
law
,
in
2015
they
gained
the
power
to
disapply
the
Court
’s
judgments
when
they
find
that
they
are
not
“
consolidated
law
”
.
To
put
it
in
sociological
terms
,
the
2015
redistribution
of
power
between
the
Court
and
the
Constitutional
Court
strengthened
the
latter
’s
position
,
but
that
came
at
a
price
internally
,
since
the
redistribution
of
power
between
ordinary
and
constitutional
judges
weakened
the
position
of
the
latter
.
It
would
appear
that
the
concern
with
the
growing
authority
of
the
Court
’s
case
-
law
was
so
deeply
seated
after
the
Maggio
and
Others
case[141
]
and
the
Agrati
and
Others
case[142
]
that
the
Giudice
delle
leggi
felt
that
they
could
rely
on
ordinary
judges
,
not
only
as
front
-
line
screeners
of
that
case
-
law
,
but
also
as
allies
in
their
confrontation
with
Strasbourg
.
