Stephen Harper and Supreme Court

Supreme Court: The Conservative prime minister who came to office in 2006 cautioning against the power of the courts suffered a political body blow Friday from the highest court in the land a Supreme Court stacked with Harper appointees, according to 660 News. Not only was Nadon, a semi-retired Federal Court of Appeal justice, found to not have the proper qualifications laid out in the Supreme Court Act for a Quebec nominee to the top bench, but the governments efforts to rewrite the rules were thwarted and Stephen Harper has come almost full circle. By rejecting Justice Marc Nadon, Harpers sixth and most recent pick for the nine-member bench, the remaining Supremes laid down constitutional markers that could proscribe the governments future plans for Senate reform, electoral changes and the appointment of judges.
