Silent sneer

June 18, 2009 by Brigitte Pellerin 1 Comment

Unsurprisingly, the Supreme Court of Canada rejected an appeal against bubble zones around abortion clinics. Of course, freedom of choice in this country means you are not allowed to disagree with that choice (and for the record, I don’t believe anyone has the right to interfere with other people’s legal activities – it’s just that standing on a sidewalk with a sign does not constitute undue interference). So the Court probably felt comfortable not explaining its decision to dismiss the case. The Court has every right to dismiss without comment. But it doesn’t look very smart doing so.

    The Supreme Court is not obliged to state a reason for its decisions and, in fact, it usually does not. How smart does your ignorance of that make you look?
