Erfolgloser Befangenheitsantrag im Verfahren zu Vorschriften des Vierten Bevölkerungsschutzgesetzes („Bundesnotbremse“)

Mit heute veröffentlichtem Beschluss hat der Erste Senat des Bundesverfassungsgerichts ein Ablehnungsgesuch gegen den Präsidenten Harbarth und die Richterin Baer in einem Verfahren zu Vorschriften des Vierten Bevölkerungsschutzgesetzes („Bundesnotbremse“) zurückgewiesen.

Das Ablehnungsgesuch stützt sich im Wesentlichen auf das bei einem Treffen der Bundesregierung mit dem Bundesverfassungsgericht am 30. Juni 2021 erörterte Thema „Entscheidung unter Unsicherheiten“. Ein Teil der von den Beschwerdeführenden vorgebrachten Gründe ist schon gänzlich ungeeignet, die Besorgnis der Befangenheit der abgelehnten Richter zu begründen. Im Übrigen ist das Gesuch jedenfalls unbegründet.
