No.
Reason no 1. Access to single market. They've seen the Brexit movie.
Reason no 2. Defence. They are VERY wary of Russia.

They are in breach of EU law and directly challenging the authority of the Court of Justice of the EU.
There'll be a confrontation at some stage soon.
Both sides would be foolish to push it though, to be honest I think there is less appetite among many countries now for the over arching power of the European court , this was also a big theme around the brexit debate.
I just think the fundamental weakness of the union is that it has no military power to enforce its laws anyway, they can't send out the EU police force to go and arrest the Polish politicians or polish judges

Look, they're just throwing shapes. They know very well they've had huge benefits from EU membership - that's something that Britain never quite got its head around - and there's no appetite for a 'Plexit.'
Yeah, they might like to take an independent line against them ones over in Brussels - it's about as convincing as the Healy-Rae's yakking on about them ones up in Dublin. Nothing like an external antagonist - even if you have to create an imaginary one!
Without a court to decide if members are abiding by the Treaties those members have signed there is no EU. It’s that simple.
Poland is already well on the way to being a Russian style‘Democracy’. The government controls the Judiciary and much of the media. I think it’s potentially a bigger threat to the EU than Brexit
Its a high stakes game alright, I don't particularly like the Polish prime minister , very sinister and militaristic looking and young therefore I can't see him backing down, definitely not healy rae material.
At least Boris Johnson and the brexiteers had some charm and guile , this polish guy is totally different like something out of the communist era with big black coat, spectacles and no smile

Reminds me of...wait, it's on the tip of my tongue ...
Well it certainly can't be here you're thinking of!
