    Well, even if Canadian politicians (*cough* *cough* Stephen Harper & co., Paul Martin & part of co. *cough* *cough*) are too corrupt to speak up for the Canadian populace, there are still some decent judges in the US to save our hides.

    The American system of checks and balances does seem to work a lot better than ours, we could learn a thing or two from them, it would strengthen our country.

    I must admit, I do like the fact that judges in the USA are elected and not appointed!

    Except in the last go-round on the Pine Ridge Reservation. All the judges were appointed by the current Tribal administration, the President who osted Charles Yow.

    ANY judge that is appointed owes SOMEONE a favour.
