It is difficult to divorce law from politics in many cases. I think the Supreme Court of Canada does an admirable job in treating legal issues as such.
I regret the current state of affairs, given that the government expressed awareness of this in the summer, that there was a potential issue with the Supreme Court Act. It is unfortunate that we find ourselves in the current position of having appointed someone, sworn them in, and then putting to the Supreme Court a question about their eligibility.
