I told you that's how you become a judge

[Argus]

All you need to do to become a judge is be on friendly relations with the Liberal Party. In fact, as the former head of the Quebec wing, Benoit Corbeil has testified, many of the lawyers who donated their services for free to the Liberals in the 2000 election were named judges in the year following.

Not very far removed from buying judgeships in my opinion.

Another reason to gut the "justice" system, along with this government.

I imagine that eureka was livid with that bit of testimony. Two of eureka's most enduring themes-- that the Liberal corruption is just money, and that the judicial selection process is noble and apolitical-- have been challenged in one fell swoop.

This allegation should probably have its own thorough, independant investigation, separate from the Gomery inquiry. I doubt Irwin Cotler's histrionics have reassured people as to the integrity of the process.
