The Nadon File: The definition of beyond stupid? The Harper government!
Good Day Readers:
American legal writers/scholars have adopted the term "benchslap" to describe a situation where lawyers are severely dressed down by a Judge. Of course, reverse benchslapping is possible too. In the case of Marc Nadon, what the Supreme Court of Canada delivered to the Harper government was not a "benchslap" but a "benchwhack." Now the geniuses in the Prime Ministers Office are suggesting Mr. Nadon's appointment is still on the table in that he could be re-certified by the Quebec Bar and re-appointed. If this isn't the definition of beyond stupid what is?
So will lawyer/kickboxer Rocco Galati have to go back to the SCC to kick Stephen Harper in thenuts cojones again?
Sincerely,
Clare L. Pieuk
Conservatives won't rule out another attempt to reappoint Nadon

The Conservative government is refusing to close the door to reappointing
Justice Marc Nadon to the Supreme Court of Canada, a move that would pit the
government against the country’s top judges.
On Friday, the Supreme Court resoundingly rejected Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s choice of the 64-year-old, semi-retired judge for one of its three Quebec seats. Mr. Harper had asked the court for an advisory opinion after the appointment was challenged in October, first by Toronto lawyer Rocco Galati, and then by the Quebec National Assembly.
