Someone should buy Paul Martin and Irwin Cotler copies
of Alphonse deValk's 2003 book Judicial Activism:
a threat to democracy and religion.

The Liberal Prime Minister and Justice Minister have just inflicted on hapless Canadians the worst affront to democracy yet, in the appointment to the Supreme Court bench of two radical feminists with a naked agenda of judicial activism.

 But much worse than the pro-gay, pro-abortion, anti-religious bias of Justices Abella and Charron, in my opinion, is the blatant contempt for Parliament shown by Ministers Martin and Cotler in their stage-managed charade of 'Parliamentary examination of the appointments'... a mock question-and-answer session in which - as an NDP MP aptly pointed out - nothing that the MPs on the Justice Committee asked or said had a snowball's chance of affecting the appointments.

 These two appointments were a slam dunk, because the autocratic hand of the PMO had ruled that they were to be confirmed - and no upstart MPs were going to be allowed to interfere with the imperial decree!

As commentator Michael Taub said - in the pro-Liberal Toronto Star! - Abella's views don't appear to be even close to mainstream. In a court that has long since ceased to follow the Constitution, and instead remakes the Constitution in its own image, that's frightening.

 Charron is cut from the same radical feminist, anti-male, anti-Christian cloth: she wrote the majority opinion in the M v H decision, one of a clutch of court decisions that gave homosexual activists a free ride.

 Jurists of this stripe will soon be handing the government the decision it wants (but hadn't the courage to bring to a vote, even when they had a majority) in favor of same-sex "marriage". If you think they won't, you might like to invest in a seaside resort in the heart of the Gobi Desert.

 And what will follow? As surely as night follows day, other sexual perversions are lining up for the race to be blessed by the judges: plural marriage, pedophilia, group marriage, and bestiality. All of them have already begun sharpening their knives. Sado-masochism, of course, was able to ride into the marriage bed with leather, whips and chains
 under the rubric of its 'gay' practitioners.

 Now, more than ever, it's imperative that Parliament find the courage to draw a line in the sand and tell the courts, "Thus far, and no farther!" - and then start rolling back these affronts to morality.

 All of these aberrant claims to a fancied "right" to pervert marriage are based on the Supreme Court's wanton re-writing of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms to suit their wacky world-views. Into Section 15,  where legislators deliberately left it out, the judges forced "sexual orientation" - a term so vague that lawyer-MPs have said "It doesn't belong in any legislation!" At the same time, they cavalierly ignore the rights to freedom of religion and freedom of expression that are explicitly declared in Section 2 of the same Charter.

 Until now, no party sitting in the House of Commons has
 had the courage to confront the arrogance of the judges. When is the next by-election? We must use it to
 inject a conscience and a backbone into Parliament!
