Is the EU in trouble?

It seems that the central character in the creation of the European Union doesn't want to belong to it. French in disarray as they admit EU treaty vote is lost.

The EU Constitution was a bad idea from the start. Instead of painting broad brush strokes and letting the lawmakers fill in the blanks as is with our Constitution, the EU attempts to lay out every policy and minute decision in the Constitution itself. The US Constitution is a few pages, the EU is a James Mitchner novel.

Such micromanaging of a controlling document is a bad idea, since the process to change it (should be) difficult and complex.

With the French backing out of the EU, it would seem that the EU is in significant trouble, as the French were the major pushers behind the idea.

I can't wait to see what comes next.
