But if that's true, that's a disgrace. I think the last place anyone would want partisan politics to creep into is the Supreme Court.
My oldest son and I were actually laughing about this last night. Because the US has politicized its Supreme Court so much (and as a result it gets so much media coverage) we can actually name more members of the US Supreme Court than Canada's. In fact I can't name one judge on Canada's. They sort of spit out rulings periodically through the year and we just sort of go "Yeah, that makes sense" and we move on.
So I guess what I'm saying is you guys are weird.
