"Judges must be free from political intervention or intimidation" Stockwell Day

This is a pretty ordinary sentiment but I picked it because Stockwell Day was often portrayed as a radical beyond radical.

In fact, Mr Day appreciated well the constitutional role (both privilege and responsibility) for jurists.

This matters because today much media is attacking a Newmarket judge. As I said here yesterday, we don't know the full story -- and there is no doubt a full story. Let's wait and see what it is before we 'rush to judgment'.
