    Yep, you have politicians, pretty much a guarantee that their ethics are skewed, appointing a lawyer to a position of power... :? ...and somehow people think this isn't a fox loose in the hen house no matter how you look at it? Boil it down, a crook appoints a crook to pass judgement on crooks... PDT_Armataz_01_05

    What do they expect for him to appoint 5 judges with NDP links?

    Exactly, and many politicians were lawyers too.
    I'd be supprised if you could find 5 lawyers who didn't have political ties to any party.

    Canada needs to adopt an American style system where judges and senators are elected

    I'd agree with that. At least they could then be held accountable to the public.
