Supreme Idiots in the Supreme Court of Canada


Amazing how such dumb fucks can be appointed to the Supreme Court of Canada. With such idiots, can one expect to ever get justice in the true sense of the word? Even in a simple matter of  someone wearing a mask when testifying which a 3-yr old would have deemed to be wrong,  the Supreme Court  bastards "ruled the matter can only be decided on a case-by-case basis."

That's how stupid they are.

Alyshah Hasham writing at TheStar:
....More than five years and many court battles later, a sexual assault preliminary inquiry is poised to resume with the complainant complying with a court order to remove her niqab while testifying.
The landmark case pitting religious rights against fair-trial rights went all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada which ruled the matter can only be decided on a case-by-case basis.
With the decision back in his hands, Ontario Court Justice Norris Weisman, the original presiding judge, followed the test laid out by the top court and ruled that the complainant must remove the veil, which covers all of her face but her eyes, to testify.
The Toronto woman, who can only be identified as N.S., is the case’s key witness. She alleges that two men, whose identities are also covered by the publication ban, sexually assaulted her for five years in the mid-1980s when she was a child.
Weisman acknowledged the difficulty posed to N.S. by his decision in April, and the broader implications it could have on victims with similar religious beliefs in reporting crimes and having confidence in the justice system.
However, he also wrote that seeing the face of a key witness is “an important feature of a fair trial” with serious consequences for the accused.
Weisman has since reached the age of mandatory retirement for judges. The case is now in the hands of Justice Charles Vaillancourt.....
