VJH ..... help!

Anonymous has left a new comment on your post, "To roll the dice or not to roll the dice that is the question?"(sigh)

Do you and VJH still not see the difference between politicians and judges in Canada? They are different. Judges are not elected in a political process. They are supposed to be protected from blackmail.

It's legitimate to question the vetting and selection process.

But a further question: since "everybody in the legal community" knew about the pictures, and the selection committee still made her a judge, is it now fair to her that what they deemed before as "not a problem," without any action on her part to bring about the breach of privacy, is now a problem?

Before: "We know about the pictures. We'll still make you a judge."

After: "Whoops! The public is mad! Better throw you under the bus and get you off the bench!"

It's one thing to question whether or not nudie pictures disqualify someone from being a judge. But how is it fair for the system to say, "it was okay then - we made you a judge - but it's not okay now?"

The selection committee made the decision. Why don't they have the guts to stand behind it?

Dear Anonymous:

Thank you for contacting CyberSmokeBlog.

Judges are politicians in robes - silly.

Over to you VJH we've got much bigger fish to fry. Another Manitoba judge might possibly be in trouble.

Sincerely,
