Catchme Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 Well, maybe that might have actual truth if Liberal Justic minister Colter was not so right of centre. And he was the one overseeing judicial appointments, and also implemented the changes that harper destroyed that would have made the judiciary actually for sure non-partisan. The fact that the Liberals made it so the judiciary could not be partisan, and Harper promptly got rid of it says much about Harper's wanting to stack the judiciary with partisans who have absolutely NO skill with which to determine judicial appointments..

Argus Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 Well, maybe that might have actual truth if Liberal Justic minister Colter was not so right of centre. He was right of Fidel Castro perhaps. Perhaps. But the only people who would describe Cotler as "right of centre" are people so far from the centre themselves they can no longer recognize where it stands. The fact that the Liberals made it so the judiciary could not be partisan By, like, appointing former Liberal MPs and failed candidates, party bagmen and supporters, and lawyers who donated free legal services to the Liberal Party, you mean? Yes, I can see how that would make sure the judiciary wasn't partisan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guyser Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 Yes, I can see how that would make sure the judiciary wasn't partisan. The same Cotler that opened up the nomination to the public for a replacement judge ? That guy? And where did the replacement come from.....ALta Sask, Man, NWT Nt......

Argus Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 Wrong again argus, Cotler's wife even belongs to the CPC. Cotler's wife was a longtime Liberal who quit a few months back due to the rising level of anti-semitic bigotry she was seeing in that party.

Catchme Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 No, actually she did not quit because of anti-semitic bigotry within the Liberals, she quit because the Liberal Party's stance on Israel's bombing of Lebanon. If she, or her husband Irwin Cotler Liberal MP, felt there was anti-semetic bigotry going on in the Liberal Party, Cotler would've quit or walked across the foor.

He should, as obviously his qualfied voice is ignored by Dion pretending to be a strongman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catchme Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 Colter actually abstained because he did NOT agree with Harper's wanting to extend it the way it was either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilber Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 Colter actually abstained because he did NOT agree with Harper's wanting to extend it the way it was either. CBC News Before the vote, Cotler said he could not comfortably support either side. He said the position could be taken that the provisions have never been implemented and therefore they should be sunsetted."Or you can take the position as I've taken," he said. "The fact that [the provisions] have not been used means that they have not been abused, but they may still be needed." That fence must be really hard on the ass.

jdobbin Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 Cotler's wife was a longtime Liberal who quit a few months back due to the rising level of anti-semitic bigotry she was seeing in that party. Cotlers' wife was against gay marriage as well. She had been upset by a few measures like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
