No worries. Chretien and Martin stacked the courts in Liberals favor with partisan appointments.
Harper would need to be in power roughly 13 years to even it out.

funny, that was my thought when i read the story this morning.
hey anon 12:49:
chretien/martin may have appointed liberal partisans to the bench, but they did it under an appointment process that was merit-based. yet another conservative flip-flop. with the way boss harp has changed the appointments process, it will take alot less than 13 years to stack the bench with so-cons.

A judge is appointed when one resigns, so i doubt Harper could stack the deck as you say.
The interesting thing is the judge who complained is one of Martin's appointments due to her support for same-sex marriage. She's also the one who thinks child porn is okay if its art. Go figure.
I think Dion needs to pull up his socks here.
I watched CPAC this morning with the usual bullshitting strategists - McGrath, Powers and Smith and included in the panel discussion was Nick Nanos - Nanos said that the poll only indicates that Canadians are okay with Harper's management skills BUT they aren't thrilled about his policies. Powers' face went a little serious when he said that. McGrath, of course, repeated her repeated and repeated and repeated message that only NDP are honest with Canadians and that Libs and Cons are bad people. NDP desperately need some decent strategists - McGrath and Lavigne are really pathetic.
Dion has to start looking like a capable manager that's all.
